Description
I was driving home from another photography shoot and while my heart mainly lies with landscape/concert photography, my heart skipped a beat when I noticed this beauty perched in a tree by the river! I hit the brakes and pulled over onto the snow covered shoulder of the road, grabbed my camera and jumped out of my truck. I walked slowly around my truck until I had the eagle in clear sight and hoped I'd be able to get a couple of shots in before he flew away. He was glancing down river when he suddenly turned and looked at me, my heart was racing, what an adrenaline rush! I managed to grab a few shots before he turned and flew off. I've never seen one up close like that, truly a majestic bird!
