We were hanging out after church today, and I saw a large flash of black and white zoom by the sliding glass door that looks out over the deck into the backyard. I immediately jumped up and grabbed for the camera and in my panicked state, took several of the worst pictures ever of a majestic bald eagle as it sat in a tree less than 20 feet away from the house.
It was obscured by several other trees, so the focus isn't great. And my shutter speed was too slow to eliminate the excited shake in my hands. I tried to step out onto the deck to get a better shot, but it flew away. It was enormous.
