I think the first two photos are mis-captioned.
I posted some photos for you in my backyard bird thread. Scroll down page 5 to posts #93 & 94.

The youngsters of migratory birds have to grow up quickly or they will quite literally be left out in the cold. 🥶

The birders in the audience are excused and may leave at this time. Thank you for your attendance and please come again.

Bearing in mind that I shoot .jpeg, I feel the 7DII + 100-400L telephoto zoom gives very good results as long the ISO settings are kept below...

Continued.
Closeup of a male dark-eyed junco on my next door neighbor's roof. It is easy for me to get blase about juncos as they have been this year's primary backyard avian resident, but the males are very pretty.

Back to the 5DIII + 600L...

That nest is best photographed in the late afternoon/early evening when the sun is behind you and shining directly into the nest. That creates other lighting problems, but at least you are not shooting into shadows using high ISO settings.

Back deck photos from Wednesday afternoon (6-24-2020).
For RickyRed. The first seven photos were taken in .jpeg with my 7DII + 100-400L II telephoto zoom using the 65 pt. auto focus setting. They were all taken at 1/1000 @ f/5.6 using auto ISO. I have posted the ISO setting above each...

Good shots. Glad to see you back from Coronaville or wherever you have been hiding.

But can the roughie read?

At this point I am all set for equipment. It would take an accident or a real steal of a deal for me to upgrade or add to my cameras or lenses.
Lenses with minimum apertures of f/7 and f/11 really scare me given the notorious bad light up here in the Puget Sound Region. Plus there are times...

Deka: Long time no see (your photos). Welcome back. Please continue posting.

I think it is no coincidence that "big white lenses" are so prominent among professional sports photographers. Hopefully that niche will keep Canon in the dSLR market.

Great shots, especially the first one where the bird is approaching the flower.

I posted up a link to these photos on Tweeters in the hopes that someone who birds the Skagit area may be able to provide an update on leucistic eagle sightings.
-
If I recall correctly, one of the leucistic bald eagles reported on Tweeters in the past was in the vicinity of the West 90. I hope you are able to follow the pair you recently photographed over the next few yrears to see if they nest and reproduce.

Friday afternoon (6-19-2020) shots from the back deck. It was overcast, warm, and humid for the Puget Sound Region. I would not be surprised if we have thunderstorms tonight.
A male flicker was looking for insects in my neighbors' back yard. A female was checking out my empty suet feeders...

The UW manages a List Serve called Tweeters where birders report bird sightings, etc. via e-mail. It is a very good resource for bird photographers as well to learn what/where birds are currently being seen in our area.

It is always a memorable sight and sound when a mated pair greets each other. The breast feathers of the eagle on the left are so much lighter than those of the one on the right. Could the one on the left be the same light colored bird bird you photographed in flight as you got out of your car?

What I call a "grab shot." You get what you can regardless of quality as you may not have another chance at it.
It could be a leucistic bird as there have been several reports on Tweeters of leucistic eagles in that area over the past few years.
Explanation of leucism...
