Yesterday was just one of those days. I was headed out to a Christmas Bird Count. This particular count always has a pot-luck lunch at noon. Just a chanc to eat and up-date each other on what has been seen in the morning.
I was halfway there when a i realized that my food contribution was back home in the kitchen.
During the count and immature Blad Eagle drifted right over us at low level. I grabbed the camera and bailed out of the van. It wouldn't focus or expose. That's when I realized that the battery was dead. Changed batteries but naturally by then the eagle was long gone. I shut off the camera and put it a way without making any exposures. A little later, I spotted a breautiful dog fox by the road. Went to take some pictures, no memory card.
