Adult Bald Eagle at White Rock Lake Park eating a large fish in Dallas, Texas March 26, 2016. This was at Sunset Bay on the east side of White Rock Lake.
It looks like the kid was coming very near the eagle, perspective is everything, still that is pretty close. That guy was hungry. You been watching the D.C. eaglets?
+hspicata No, it did not fly off until it finished the fish and drank some water. The kid in the yellow shirt was about 80 meters away across open water and was no threat to the eagle. It just looks close, I was very far away when shooting this and using an effective focal length of 900mm to shoot the video, using a crop body Canon, a 400mm 5.6 lens and a teleconverter. That setup only works well in bright sun with bright subjects.
Great video, the eagles keep eluding me when i try to capture them on video... I am surprised it didnt fly off when the guy in the background approached he must have been really hungry!
