Theres what looks like some kind of an eagle nesting not to far from my house, it makes me really want that 70-300 IS.

I would trade a weeks worth of spotting pictures for that. Your are very lucky, as you say, most people only ever see then behind cages.

I worked in Essington about 7 years ago , down the street from KPHL, and I saw this guy soaring around :D Everybody at work thought I was full of it and now I have my confirmation :D

Im assuming its the same eagle by the way

Very nice shots!
