A Sleepy Hollow NY resident surveys the land from his perch in the trees…
Late this afternoon I was able to get Jade and Tundra to the dog park in Kingsland Point Park of Sleepy Hollow. Even though no one was there – there was only one other car in the lot – I had the sense that I was not alone. I starting looking around and then I looked up. Something was there…but It wasn’t a person – it was a very handsome eagle silently perched – watching from his aerial vantage point. I could feel his eyes. He was watching, waiting, biding his time. He seemed aware of me, but not the least alarmed. I was hoping he would stay still for a photo-op. He waited politely while I got out the camera and attached the telephoto lens in the freezing cold. I was able to get a few pictures, but at that distance only one turned out. Oh yeah – that guy was watching me – his piercing look captured in a lucky shot. Photo-op finished – he soared away into the late afternoon sky.
By cropping the picture - I was better able to resolve the "look" he gave me...
