"Eagle, Eagle, There's an Eagle!"

This morning, I was excited about my first sighting of a bald eagle at Delta Ponds for 2017! They have been showing up every year and nest on the north side of Skinner Butte. One never knows when they might show up at Delta Ponds. I had finished my morning walk and was on my way back to the car when I saw my friend, John. We chatted on the way to the car and stood talking for half an hour. All of a sudden John said, “eagle, eagle, there’s an eagle!” Sure enough, a bald eagle had just landed at the top of a tree overlooking the parking lot. Naturally, we both had to roam the parking lot shooting pictures and looking for the best POV. This is one of my photos.

Looks like the D500 and the Sigma lens get along well.
