Launching Off
DeSoto Bend National Wildlife Refuge, Iowa
This eagle was perched on a tree on the bank of the Missouri River obviously watching for fish. Shooting photos out of the window of a vehicle adds an extra degree of difficulty and I thought I would be able to get out of the vehicle without disturbing this eagle since it was pretty far away. I was mistaken. It flew the moment I pointed my camera after getting out of the vehicle.
