Take Your Best Shot Mr Eagle!!-Shirley
by Shirley Haden

I'm taking photos of these Eagles down by the river, as this one was soaring to high for me to get decent shots I was just enjoying it. Then all the sudden the largest doo-doo from a bird I ever saw comes shooting out. I stood there in awe and then decided to take photos of it (the bomber long gone) as I watch this falling, like in slow motion in the sky. Then the tense moment is when I decide it's time to get back in the car fast! LOL It missed the car too by the way. Can you imagine if it didn't miss!! Now that's some tension!

Well Duncan, no mice in this guys tummy. That would be fish N chips for his lunch. Just kidding about the chips, he had at least 2 large fish he was eating on and protecting from a crow who wanted to have a chat over lunch (uninvited). They were down on the ice of the river, this was taken about 20 minutes after lunch. LOL

Well Shirley, I'd never have guessed! I thought it was free-fall parachutists with smoke canisters at first : ) A brave shot indeed in the cause of art!

Tooo funny. I've almost been hit by a flock of turkeys taking off, but this looks worse.---Woody
