The temps finally reached above freezing this afternoon, the sun was shining so I thought I would have a look around the area.

 

I saw two eagles on their usual perch near the river and did not bother to stop as I have finally learned they are out of reach for my lens.

 

My goal was to capture a boreal. I found one but did not get a decent photo, the norm.

 

I saw two more eagles in their usual area and they were also out of reach.

 

On the way home my intuition was telling me to go and have a look at the first pair, my common sense was saying 'why bother'. I ignored the common sense and this was the result!

 

The closest I have been to an eagle. They flew right to the spot I had parked

 

The second eagle taking off. I followed it with the lens and expected it to fly out of sight...
