"Lunch with your buddies..."

This was shot out the window on the island... 300mm 4K, 1/125th shutter, 24 fps, ISO 320. It will look light here due to the maddening QT gamma issues.

I dont know why but seeing a Bald Eagle in the wild has always excited me.

Most people don't get to shoot that everyday. Great shot.

What happened? I wanna see it :-(

[Manfred Lopez]

Maybe this should be made into the Official Red Crest (The eagle is obviously Red and the carcass can signify the competition):

[Shawn Nelson]

Ah nice!! Jim, that is a badass shot :-). How did you get it? Were you camped out for it or did you stumble upon it?

[Jannard]

I woke up this morning and my fiancee told me to get my ass out of bed and fire up the camera!

I turned it on and decided to shoot out the window instead of risking the moment. An elk had gone down (old age?) near the house and by the time we got up, about 12 eagles (and about 20 crows) had taken it to bones. I can only imagine what it was like 3 hours earlier!

I'm happy I got something, but I will always wonder what it would have been like if I had been up a few hours earlier...

I'm glad I keep a 300mm handy...

I want to be somewhere where eagles eat fallen elk outside my window. I don't even have squirrels around here! :)

That's really fantastic footage.

If you save it (right click) and pay it... it should look correct.
