Every once in a while, there is a spectacular split second that takes my breath away.  On an even more remote chance, when this split second occurs, I have my camera at the ready.  This was one of those moments.  I literally shed a tear.  Since I'm from a place where the eagle sighting is extremely rare, this felt extremely amazing to me.  I'm very excited that I was able to maintain focus and appropriate camera settings while shooting this unexpected series.
