Well, almost. Maybe next time! I will be on the lookout!

While driving, I spotted two circling bald eagles. Pulled over, broke out the new to me 500 super telephoto. Turns out there were 5 of them, including two juveniles, circling ever higher. Soon, they started coming closer, with occasional extended talons. I began hoping I'd be getting to film them locking talons, and plunging, spinning, while locked in the death spiral love embrace
These shots are all cropped a fair bit, as the eagles weren't close..and were circling ever higher and moving away. Plus, handholding a nearly 18" long lens which is effectively 800mm (16 power) which lacks internal Stabilization" is no easy task. I've already ordered a lens plate, needed to mount it to my tripods.
