The previous day I’d been given a tip as to where I could find bald eagles. And the tip paid off, I found the eagles. Tragically, they were no longer sitting still. And they insisted on flying high and around the sun to make sure I couldn’t get any decent shots. Frustrated, since I was desperate to try out the R5’s ability to track animal eyes in motion, I headed out for a hike.

And promptly spotted another bald eagle. Flew right over my head. And then over some trees and out of sight before I could get my camera up to my eye. Sigh. The critters below all tried to hide as well. They failed.
