Default Bald Eagle Low Pass Flyby

Was just shooting at the river and looked up and this guy comes floating over the trees. Luck...

LOL, yeah, he was pretty low, easy to focus on. I was pretty surprised too, cause I didn't expect an eagle where I was.

Well done Mitch, I think I have a better chance of tripping over an eagle here then getting close with a camera. Thanks for sharing.Merry X-mas

Thanks Paul. Mostly luck, partly carrying around the right equipment for when luck wants to smile on me.
