Bald Eagle performs Top Gun flyby

October 28, 2016 by Tony Leave a Comment

This kind of reminds me of one of my favorite lines from the 80s hit movie: “Sorry, Goose, but it’s time to buzz the tower.” In this case, time to buzz the White-tailed Deer. 😉

I captured this image this past Sunday in Longmont, Colorado. I spotted the eagle in what would have been a prime position to catch it posing with the Rocky Mountains behind but it had other plans. Before I even had a chance to get in position it took flight and while I was a good ways away, I decided to snap some pictures. I’m glad I did as I didn’t even know the deer were there until it went over them.

I haven’t had a truly quality photo session with a Bald Eagle for a couple months now and I am getting frustrated. We have been incredibly warm here in Colorado and I suspect that is delaying their arrival for the season. Problem is, I am not a patient person!
