When my Grandfather retired, he and my grandmother moved to New Concord, KY. They left their regular style home in Greenvile, MS and built a round(actually an octagon) house on Kentucky Lake. They have lived here for over 13 years and everyone in the area knows about the round house. In fact, the pilots at the local Air force Base use it as a turn around spot. My grandmother has met a pilot who was thrilled to meet the lady who lived in the brown round house near the lake.

I was sitting in the den looking at the bird feeder when I noticed a huge black form in the top of one of the trees. I quickly realized that a bald eagle had landed in one of them. I ran out with my camera and was able to get a couple of shots before it flew away. I guess he was camera shy. It was an awesome site and I hope that I get a chance to get some more photos.

This was about when he noticed me.

I think that I am going to rent a longer zoom lens for a couple of weeks. I am currently using a 70-200 f/4. I am thinking about renting a canon 100-400 and maybe a teleconverter. I did have to crop the eagle photos a little too much. I would love to have some super closeups.
