My wife and I took a short hike in Sunapee yesterday. I was carrying around my “walk-around-lens”, one not designed for bird photography. I didn’t expect to photograph any birds, but I did get some passable shots of a pine warbler.
Suddenly we realized some crows were making a huge racket. I figured there might be a raptor high in a tree, and I knew that juvenile bald eagles were known to be in the Lake Sunapee area. So I waited at a spot I hoped would be good if the raptor flew and photographed the swarming crows.
Eventually the eagle flew and I got a few shots as it flew away from me with the crows on its tail. I did not see the eagle until it was airborne.
I hope the eagle stays away from the loon chick.
