Re: Close encounters
Great pics, what kind of camera?
Seen Bald Eagles when I lived in FL (Daytona).
I was working at the Auto Mall on I-95. Got to work one morning, parked in the back near a retention pond. There was about a dozen ducks or so in the pond. 2 immature Baldies, full grown but heads not white yet, they get the white head around 4-5 years old. Anyway, the Baldies were swooping down on the ducks tryin to kill and eat em. All at once, all the ducks would dive underwater and the Baldies missed. Watched this about 5 times....then 2 ducks decided to make a break for it, 1 eagle in hot pursuit, 1 stayed put. I've never seen ducks fly so fast, their wings looked like hummingbird wings! They pulled pretty good on the eagle and think they made a clean getaway...cool stuff!
I also saw a 10-12 foot gator on the bank of the same pond once :o
