Here are some of the photos she took:
I have been teaching her as much as possible, plus she always looks at my photos and asks how I did them. Plus the fact that I have great Canon cameras and lenses doesn't hurt! Today was the first day she ever used a telephoto lens with a 1.4X extender, so she had her work cut out for her. The weather conditions made it tough to get good exposures on the Eagles and other birds.
Photography is an awesome hobby, especially when you have a decent camera. I always have a camera close at hand. I even carry a little point and shoot camera in my truck constantly when I go shopping and am afraid to bring the big camera due to the possibility it might get stolen. She took about 86 photos and I took well over 100. I have a 500 gigabyte external hard drive that is completely full, plus a stack of home burned CDs and DVDs that is about 6 feet tall. I guess you could say that I am obsessed with photos and photo taking! 
Congratulations! HUGE Milestone. I can't seem to get my wife past her point and shoot. Your wife did well for an amateur but your focus points and compositions are what distinguishes an amateur and somebody who knows what they're doing.
p.s - you have dirt on your mirror. There's a spot showing in the top left of your eagle shot, around an inch in. May need some mirror cleaning.
That 40D has taken over 150,000 photos. Ahh, the hazards of trying to capture an awesome photo!
I used it a lot for wedding photos, portraits and scenic shots. It made me a lot of money in it's day. Sadly, it is too hard to get film for it anymore and the price of developing the film went through the roof around here. It ways $1,600 for the body alone. Then I had to buy Professional grade lenses. The cheapest lens was $650. (yup! I have more money than brains! ) I have lenses from the Canon 17-40 L to a Canon 400 L telephoto, plus the L series extenders. I still want to buy a Canon 800 mm. L series super telephoto lens, but the $13,000 price tag is holding me back.
