We have a resident pair of eagles on our small lake outside Kirkwood Mo. I’ve been following them for a few years as they have raised three broods of chicks.
The female was setting in their roosting tree when the male flew in. After contemplating the world around them the male sank his talons into the females back and mated.
I took these shots about 850 feet away with a Canon R5 with a 800mm lens and a 1.4 teleconverter. This made the settings 1/4000 shutter, F16, ISO 3200 on this bright sunny day.
