It was March, and I was staying at the cottage of a very good friend of mine who passed away recently. We were walking down the Lake Huron shoreline, opposite direction from the Bruce Power Plant when I spotted the eagle sitting on a bare branch about 30 feet up. I was walking with my Nikon D5100 with my 70-300 zoom lens when it looped out over the water from one tree to another. It did that about four times as we approached it, then it flew down the coastline. We had walked along with it, slowly and quietly, and I kept shooting. I probably took around 30 shots. I had been going to the area for many years and this was my first encounter with an eagle. It was a thrilling experience. It was certainly a majestic, photographic bird. It is something that we shared that I will always remember.
