Three days in a row I have seen two different Bald Eagles in the trees down the road from my house. The first two days it was a juvenile Bald Eagle and today it was a mature Bald Eagle. What I have missed three times now is capturing on my camera either eagle taking off from a its perching position, that is a picture that I have really wanted to get especially with how relatively close they were when I had a 500mm lens on my camera. Although I did not get the shot that I was looking for I did get some great images of the eagles a couple which I have already posted of the juvenile.
This was my favorite that I took today I had to follow this eagle for a while and miss the first 20 minutes of my class in order to get this shot.
I also got quite a few shots of the eagle in the tree before it took off I missed the shot I wanted this time by stepping out of my car it is always something else. Also something to note in the future for my self and anyone else about to get the shot of the day check the image size before you go out. I ended up shooting in JPG all day I am just glad it was on the large setting.
These are the a couple of the images that I got of the juvenile eagle yesterday. Boy if you could have seen it I had my camera down changing settings and looked up and this eagle spread his wings and took off. It was huge! And the color right now for this bird is amazing brown turning to black and white patterns scattered through the underside. I can not really tell how old this bird is but with the size and the color markings I would say that it was close to getting its permanent feathers in soon and 3 to 4 years old.
