Looking Out My Backdoor

With all the eagle watching I've been doing lately, I feel like I've lost a little perspective. I saw this guy in the back yard and realized that God spent just as much time on this Robin as he did the Bald Eagles I've been stalking. I think I'll take time more often to slow down and appreciate the little things...Genesis 1:20-25

Once in a Lifetime Shot...Bald Eagle eats fish

Chris and I had been waiting for about an hour and a half to get photos of a Bald Eagle. Just as we were about to leave, I saw the eagle approaching, talons down. It dove towards the lake, scooped up a fish, and then fought off a hawk trying to steal it in mid-air! Then, it landed in a tree and ate the fish about 40 yards from us. Wow. I am so blessed to not only have witnessed this, but was able to capture the moment. Fingers crossed for more photos!

All photos taken with Canon 5DMKIII 100-400 Canon L-Series lends, edited in Lightroom 4 and Ps CS3.
