The closest Bald eagle encounter of my birding life! She was huge! and on the verge of becoming a grown up.
Wilson (from Seattle) jumped onboard with me to ensure finding birds to photograph for his Photography by Phone class. With patience, he captured what he wanted most: snow geese taking flight!
