Bald Eagles... I love these birds! They are incredible. There are several bald eagles that hang out across my parents lake that I love to watch. Unfortunately I don't have the right type of lens to get a good shot of them from that far away. But just the other day God blessed me with the gift of a close encounter.
Last week, my husband & I decided to drive out to the west coast of Florida (Hernando Beach) because the weather was so beautiful! It was a glorious spring day and we had to get out and enjoy it. As we parked near one of our favorite fishing spots, we noticed a gorgeous bald eagle in a tree across the waterway. We snapped a few quick photos thinking that we were as close as we were going to get.
But then the great bird spotted a snack and swooped down just a few feet away from us to nab it. At one point he perched on top of a light pole in the parking lot and let me walk right up to the base of the pole and snap some photos.
