Bald Eagle
May 11, 2008
As we were driving home today from some running, we saw a pair of bald eagles sitting in a tree. HUGE eagles sitting in a tree. I got turned around, stopped, got on the Canon 75-200 F/2.8 L lens. As I was walking towards them, they took off. I’m not sure if they were hungry or I spooked them. Either way, they took off quickly.
This is the first shot I got off before they went too far away. There are several others. I hope to get a few more posted shortly. The detail in this one at full size is incredible. The claw underneath, the curve of the beak, the individual feathers. Awesome!
