brandon Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Today I only had to work till about noon which was awesome because it was the first time the sun showed itself in about 2 weeks. I was hoping to just take some pics of ducks and geese so I went to Boundary Bay Park in Tsawwassen. After walking a good portion of the trail with no waterfowl in sight I noticed something far ahead in the tree.....I knew right away it was a Bald Eagle. In order to get a decent photo of it I had to approach from a certain angle due to the angle of the sun. After hopping a wooden fence and hopscotching around water hazards I THOUGHT i was in position for a shot......with the camera ready I aimed it up only to see this through the view finder... Thankfully the giant bird flew only a few trees over. I slowly approached trying not to spook it. I made sure to stop every few steps and take pictures incase I did accidentally spook it so I'd have at least a few pics. However the Eagle wasn't spooked at all..... I said my goodbyes and headed back to the parking lot however the photo expedition was not over yet.... A different Eagle was sitting in a tree close to where I parked so I got a few more pics of it before heading home I mentioned I said my goodbyes and this might sound weird but I thank every animal/bird I take pics of.......I'm normally not superstitions but its just a habit of mine....... Merry Xmas everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Great shots Brandon, I'm still waiting for my great Bald Eagle shot. I wanted one last year while I was in BC. Every time I tried to get one they were moving or we were moving. And as luck would have it, the day I finally saw one perched in a tree posing for the perfect shot, I had left my camera back at my sister's house. We were just running to Walmart up the road, so I left the camera behind. Seen a couple here in Ontario, but haven't got close enough for a good shot. You got the exact shots I'm looking for, perched in a tree with just the sky behind. I bow my head to you Bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
