Bald Eagles

Saturday was a good day.  I was out and about with fellow photographer Fa'auma Jerome scouting locations for future portrait photos.  We landed in Jaunita Bay, at a park along the water.  Walking towards the water along the boardwalk we spotted two bald eagles.  I had never seen bald eagles in the wild (yes, I am the ONE), so I quickly slapped on my longest lens and started snapping away.  We really wanted to capture the eagles in flight so we waited... and waited... and waited.  All of a sudden they took off.  Lucky for us one of them returned a short time later to grab a fish.  Below are a couple of the photos I got. 

I was ill equiped for shooting these Eagles.  The lens I had on me was not long enough, but was still able to capture a great moment.  It was really majestic.  Although I shoot portraits and events, it was fun to photograph wildlife.  Something I've never really done.  In the end, we were there for about an hour and a half.  Our time spent was not fruitless... :)
