On wings like eagles...

Yesterday I looked out at the pond and there on the ice was an eagle trying to get a dead goose out of the ice. I grabbed my camera and telephoto lens and quietly stepped out on the deck. I was able to snap a few pictures before it flew away but now I wish I would have just watched from inside the house because it was quite a sight. He sensed me as soon as I stepped out so I only got 1 blurry, hurried shot of him on the pond and then two as he soared away. I must say, it was majestic.


If you live in a place where you see them often, then perhaps it is hard to understand how exciting this was for me, but, I just still can't believe he was on our pond and soaring around our house.
