Your lenses are not an issue. I would first try using a high speed film (ISO 800 or higher) Keep in mind that. If the eagles visit in the same area try setting up a flood light or a remote flash. Hope this helps. Good luck Nancy!

I will work on the ISO issue Tha Floods or Flash would be great but his usual perch is over 30 feet up in a pine tree so not much hoe there. Thanks Nancy

Nancy, What focal length are you normally using for this? Somewhat a rhetorical question as I would bet you're using them both at the long end. Both your lenses are "variable aperture" and at the long end, both are f/5.6 which is fairly "slow." Professionals shooting wildlife use fast telephotos because most wildlife out during the day are generally active in early morning just after dawn and just be for dusk . . . not at mid-day . . . and most wildlife with natural predators also don't sit out in bright sun. If the faster ISO setting Justin suggests doesn't make enough of an improvement for you, or results in too much "noise" or too little resolution, consider getting some faster lenses. Fast telephoto lenses can be quite expensive; try what Justin suggests first. -- John Lind
