Hehe. Someone else asked offlist, so I was primed, you might say. I
was just looking out my kitchen window (there are a couple eagles out
there but it's cloudy and not especially interesting light). I'm
guessing it was about 125-150 yards from my vantage point to the
animal. The frame was not heavily cropped. 1/640, f7.1.
Cheers,
Joel W.
