My best find was a baby vulture in the nest.
I was hiking and I heard two very large birds flapping while flying away. I saw a big dead tree with their baby who was close to fledging. I walked over to the tree and he was standing on the highest point which was only about 14' off the ground and he was growling and it sounded just like my African Greys when they growl.
He was holding his wings out, I guess to scare me, and I snapped a picture and for the first time in 20 years the shutter in my camera jammed. I whacked it and the shutter closed. I took another pic of him trying to look big and the stupid thing jammed again. Another whack. The bird then went down into the tree and stuck his head out and that's when I snapped this picture.
My camera has never done that and hasn't done it since. I shoot at least a roll every single week. I don't know what happened that time.
