Golden Eagle in Flight - Oakland Hills


Lately, I've been looking for Golden Eagles in the Oakland hills. While I've spent a lot of time waiting around, I've usually been rewarded with at least a glimpse of an Eagle - often just after the sun has set and I'm getting ready to leave. This is my best shot so far. It occurred after a considerable amount of waiting and wondering if I should be elsewhere. Patience is a virtue.

Technical info: Moderate crop of an image taken with a Canon 20D and a 400mm f/5.6 lens. Exposure was set to +1 to keep the dark bird from becoming a silhouette.
