I would welcome comments from anyone knowledgeable about eclipse plumages in eagles. Check this out http://picasaweb.google.com/mvalencic/BirdsNearOttawaNWR and look at all four images. The pictures are poor quality, to be sure. I saw the bird out of the corner of my eye and quickly grabbed my point-n-shoot Canon A570 IS and maxed-out the digital zoom to get these pictures. Even then they had to be zoomed-in and cropped with the software to get these images.
