Lesson Learned

We drove by the Eagles nest today to see if there was any activity.

I, not so smartly, decided that I wanted to get a closer shot.

I walked slowly towards the nest, which was pretty high

compared to my 5'1" height. 

I know what you're thinking...this can't be good.

She (the Eagle) kept looking at me, watching patiently.

I kept approaching.

Then it happened, she took flight, and flew sideways,

claws spread, her wing span bigger was than the nest.

So needless to say, I freaked, I didn't run, 

I walked quickly, well sprinted, quickly.

She noticed I was retreating and went back to her nest. 

Talk about protection.

I JUST WANTED A PICTURE!!

Lesson learned, I think I need a bigger lense.
