I am lucky to have a resident pair of eagles nesting on a small lake in St. Louis county Missouri. I have been observing them for the last four years as they mate and successfully raise their chicks.
On a few occasions I have captured the mating event which can seem violent and is displayed in a sequence here.
I had to crop the event more than a 100 percent but it is still reasonably sharp. My equipment on a tripod was a Canon R5 with a 100 to 500mm lens and a 1.4 teleconverter. I was shooting at 700 mm at F10 with a shutter speed of 1/3200 and an iso of around 1600.
Love in the tree tops the violet mating of Eagles.
Amazing
Awesome photos and thanks for sharing your camera and settings. We have them in East Tennessee. Once saw an osprey chasing a bald eagle!
