Monday morning I took an early hike along the Mimai River in Piqua. I do a morning hike like this often, but this was a special day.
The experience occured just before I shot the previous photo. As I was walking, out of the corner of my eye, I saw somehing large decend on the river. I quickly turned to my left and this is what I saw.
I was standing farily close to the river, where this Bald Eagle was about 25 yards from me. What a surprise. I expected her to fly away at any time. I had my iPhone with, so I snapped a few photos using the 3x optical zoom. Sadly, that was just not enough. I cropped a couple of them (below), but it really does not really show you how close she was .. and how glorious. What an amazing experience.
