Excellent! Have the eagles on San Juan Island lost some of their fear of people? I noticed you have many nice tight shots at your website. I have been stding a couple of groups for about six weeks now, here in South Dakota. They are very nervous when it comes to people.

Thanks for the compliment Pat!
In answer to your question - they're still shy. I need to be careful not to disturb them, particularly in the winter. When they're in a tree, I have found that I can get to within 50-100 feet of the tree before they get too nervous -- but when they're on the rocks by the sea, I can't get within 75-100 yards without spooking them. This photo was taken last summer when I ducked around some of the natural cover. 400mm lens (plus Canon 10D 1.6 multiplier) helps a lot and I've used houses and cars as blinds too.
Cheers,
Matt
