"Honey, come quick! There's a bald eagle standing by the pond, and he's HUGE! Seriously, like this big!" (Holds hand to just below his hip.) "Quick! Take a picture!"
I quickly located Drew's bink, stealthily un-latched him and slipped the bink in before he really noticed. Went out into the living room, and saw the eagle trying to sit on a tree branch, but failing as he was much too heavy for the flimsy branch. I ran to the kitchen, switched to the zoom lens, grabbed a fresh battery and quietly snuck outside.
I am just getting stared in photography. Meaning that I am still learning and not sure what to do when things go wrong. I am borrowing this lens from Amy as this will be my primary wedding lens, and it turns out there is a dial on this lens that switches it from auto focus to manual focus. And if that dial is halfway in between, you cannot change the focus at all. Drat.
The eagle swooped, and before I had a chance to zoom in or try and find out why the camera was not focusing, I just shot.


At least the ducks get to live to see another day!

I'm a bit torn... I LOVE eagles, and I want them to be properly fed. However, I LOVE ducks, and want them to live... hmmm. Oh well, hopefully the eagle found breakfast elsewhere
Your comment about the ducks in the end is hilarious! Way to think about the ducks!!!
Those are GREAT shots. :) Very cool! Maybe it'll be back ... probably has to feed some babies. ;)
OOOH I love eagles! SO fun to see them all over the county lately :)
Great view from you home:o)
