These things are extremely difficult to photograph even in captivity.

Nice!

I've never had a camera nearby when I've spotted an owl. I need to add that to my 'to-do' list!

Well, it is not a memorable or an impressive shot, but it is the first time for me capturing a Bald Eagle and its nest. I am not yet fitted with a super telephoto, so this is taken with the 70-200mm f4 G OSS II with the 1.4x Sony Teleconverter. I was on the other side of the Connecticut River in Deerfield, MA about 500 feet away from this raptor. Anyway, I gave it my best shot. By the time I got home and grabbed the equipment, after spotting that nest in the tree, the eagle had gone from the nest to the lookout branch. It is a start and possibly will lead to that 200-600mm lens at some time down the road. Right now, I am focusing on other forms of photography, but I could not pass this one up. It is fascinating.
