While driving a back road I spotted an eagle perched in an old tree. It was not too far from the road so I expected it to fly any second. It didn't. Over the course of the next 10 minutes I had a West Coast experience, where you could actually get close enough to an eagle for a decent shot. I slowly advanced, stopping every 20 feet or so, getting out and leaning over the car roof for cover. I made five stops, each time bewildered by the bird's disinterest in me. It eventually moved but not because of me. I was opposite it on the road so as close as I could be and it continued to look around in perfect light on a great perch against a deep blue winter sky. What an experience, one of a kind. Where I live, eagles are regular but getting close to one is virtually impossible.

Ingleside - a young bird paused from its morning hunt. I was very close but had to remain in the car so it didn't flush.

Ahmad Shah: Great detailed shot.
BrianMorin: I took insurance shots from further away then moved about 7 metres closer for a few more and finally advanced down a side road as far as I felt was safe for the final shots. The bird was not in a hurry to leave so I had the luxury of picking my sky background which included full then partial cloud and finally blue sky, with and without sun.
