Bald Eagle Hunts a Grouse

Not impressed with my first shots, I stopped and worked for about 20 minutes creeping through the tumble weeds to get as close as possible. The eagle was aware of me, but not intimidated like hawks or falcons that I have stalked before. I've found this to be true in the air too. The few times I've soared with Bald or Golden Eagles they have been indifferent to my presence or that of the hang glider. I was able to get within 8 feet of a Bald Eagle ridge soaring a couple years ago. He was concentrating on hunting, only periodically glancing back over his shoulder at me.
