I took ALOT more of Mamma feeding the babies so I might have some better ones I'll post later.

They are all a HEAVY crop with a 18-200 3.5-5.6 lens

Wonderful shots, Kurt. The landing shots are awesome.

Thanks! I like number 4 for the landing shots. It's very hard to get an aperture that will make all of the wings in focus with a fast enough shutter speed with these big birds!

Outstanding series !!

Nice captures Kurt!! Love the landing. Try setting your aperture to F8 or so to get all of the bird in focus. When they are all in the nest I personally go to F10 or so.
This nest location needs to kept secret to avoid a mad flood of people.

Nice shooting!

Nice shooting!

Don't worry! I'll keep it a secret!

I was at F9 and 1/1000th for all of the landing shots but still had a bit of blur on the wing tips. Not sure what else to do?

WhAT ISO you shooting at! I would bump it up enough that you get at least 1/1600 sec shutter speed.

Gorgeous shots! I love the landing ones.

[cozmocha]

ISO 1000

I don't want to go much higher! I even had to run these shots through Neat Image to reduce the noise.
