Eagle flying home. . There's a little reservoir near me that's stocked with fish. This eagle and a couple osprey often come by for dinner in the early evening and only stick around till they catch a fish. . As I arrived, I saw this eagle catch a fish and land with it on the ground across the reservoir. It was too far away for a good picture and I didn't want to try to get closer and scare it off. . After dinner the eagle went back down to the water and spent a few minutes just having a nice cool dip, I guess. It'd soak a while, dunk it's head, then hop up on a branch in the water and repeat. . I mostly just had fun watching, but it usually flies off in the same direction after dinner, so I sat there hoping the eagle might fly toward me. . That sort of worked, it flew somewhat toward me but then kinda veered right. At the closest point when it was coming toward me, it was filling the frame, but I didn't get focus. Even with good gear and skill there's a lot of luck involved in getting a good frame in the ideal fraction of a second. So these photos are pre and post that great 1/4 second. . I'll probably go back at least one evening this weekend. Might try just sitting under a tree a bit to the right of where I was regardless of whether I see the eagle and hope it shows. . . . #eagle #eagles #baldeaglelover #baldeaglephotography #baldeagles #baldeagles (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRra2gDqzos/?utm_medium=tumblr
