User's notes

I waited patiently for this eagle to take flight from its perch in a small tree, but to my surprise, it first landed on the ground, then took flight with a branch in its talons. It then glided down to a high tension power tower where it landed briefly, before taking flight again. Presumably the branch was destined for its nest.
