The Eagle Had Landed
I was on a photo mission and hoping the birds were going to put on a show.
I had my bird photo gear, a Nikon V1, a 300mm and a tripod. The crop factor gave this big lens a reach of about 800mm. I set up above the beach and focused on a gray bird perched about 40 yards out on a half-sunken pier log.
Needing to move closer, I headed down the path and veered across the sand. I picked my way through large drift wood strewn about like breeched whales.
The tripod set firmly once again I refocused on the perched bird. I was looking at an American Bald Eagle. He was not the bird I looking at just two minutes ago! I was thunderstruck and I had him all to myself.
He stayed for about 10 minutes where I took some nice shots and a little video. Without warning he swooped off for parts unknown.
