My 8 year old son's bald eagle (not really his eagle, but he sponsors it at the Vermont Institute for Natural Sciences) was being frisky and decided to put on a show for the people that were visiting. He was doing this bounce and weave thing and then just started staring at me and my camera. I didn't have the best light in the world, but I did the best I could and at least got his beak illuminated from the fading sun.
