What started off as a normal flight over the Blow-me-Down Brook near the Plainfield Village quickly evolved into a riveting experience for me as a pilot and wildlife photographer/videographer. The still photos below lead up to the encounter. See if you spot the creature in the last three stills. The video shows the rest of the story.









This video is 15 minutes long but has a lot of much closer footage.
So awesome! Good for you!
Thanks Lanette. I feel pretty lucky!
Wow… lucky catch!
Had one in our backyard last week…. Just passing thru, I guess.
Ellen I’ve seen them in my yard a couple of times and once or twice a year on the security cameras, but it’s always a fleeting encounter. To be able to film one for such a long period of time going through its hunting routine was incredible.
