I took most of the pictures with a Nikon D80 camera on a tripod. I also used the Nikon 18-200mm lens for landscapes and the 300mm f4 lens for birds.

View from the Hotel trail in the Eagle lake loop.  Unfortunately, the lake (more like a pond populated by Red-winged Blackbirds and no eagles) itself is fenced as its is an area under restoration.
