I literally skidded to a stop when I saw two large birds fly crossing in front of me on the highway. I stopped and waited for 30 minutes for one of the now tiny dots perched on a tree to fly back. Armed with my old Canon XS and a crappy 75-300mm lens, this is what I finally caught. I still remember excitement of seeing and catching a shot of a bald eagle in the wild. (5 years and 3264 days ago)

We have a pair of bald eagles that live near us, and I've seen them 100 times. But it doesn't matter. Every time I see them my heart starts beating a little faster. They are pretty cool!

author says:

Well this was the first time I had ever seen any flying out in the open (odd as much of an avid outdoors person I am). So I was super stoked just seeing the pair.

I don't think it matters how often or how little you see them they are so amazing and impressive especially in flight; they take your breath away!

You should come to BC, Canada during salmon spawning season .. there are hundreds of them! But there is nothing like the first shot of something as impressive as these incredible birds!. It is truly a special image!

I know how you feel about the 300mm... it's great for landscapes but some stuff just ever turns out clear! I love this shot though even if it is as you described it

Howdie stranger!
