No bird in hand - still worth two in the bush, or on my camera memory card

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 2, 2012 - 6:16pm

The story behind the photo and video.

Friday afternoon, around 3 p.m., my cell phone rang. It was Bluffton Police Officer Rhodes. He told me that he spotted two American Bald Eagles in the field across the Maple Crest and wondered if I was interested.

Before his statement was finished I had grabbed my camera and was heading out the door. On my way the cell phone rang again. It was Lynda Best. Her husband saw the eagles and called her. She call me, too.

I have a 300 mm zoom lens for bird watching, so I figured where ever these birds were I could locate them.
