Bald Eagle makes a very close flyby

A prime example of how it is impossible to predict wildlife. This pretty lady caught me by total surprise. I was observing her and her mate when she launched at an angle away from me but then inexplicably turned right at me flying 20 feet over my head. Thankfully, my camera managed to keep up although I was a bit surprised as normally they would not choose to come so close. I have no doubt that she and her hubby were having a good laugh back at the nest that evening about the photographer she startled. 😀
