I was on my way to pick my son up from school on Friday when a huge bird flew down to snack on the dead racoon in the middle of the road. I couldn't believe my eyes as I got closer and realized it was a bald eagle. Luckily, my camera was on the seat next to me, so I grabbed it and just started shooting. I was very relieved that the manual settings I had my camera set to, were perfect and that it was in focus ~ it happened so fast. This was the first eagle I've ever seen out of captivity ~ my heart was pounding! I hoped to get a second chance on my way back home, but there was too much traffic on the road for him to return. Talk about perfect timing!
Way to go Jeni. Keeping the camera close at hand is the key, and you did great. Isn't it so much better to have a photo along with your report of sighting an eagle? Looking forward to more.
