A fun shot from an after-work photo stop this past week. Some eagles have been hanging out at a couple of local lakes, usually in spots out of reach though. As I was giving up and head for home, I came across this gorgeous adult, perched right near the road.
I got some nice portraits before it took flight. It then went out, circled the lake, and came right back, flying near a bunch of gulls. Well, one of the littler birds did not take too kindly to the intrusion and chased the eagle, making sure the monstrous raptor knew it wasn’t welcome in the neighborhood.
Despite poor lighting, it made for a fun sequence of images, particularly this one with the gull squawking and the eagle doing its best to ignore it.
