This is the second time I've ever seen a bald eagle in the wild, and the first time that it was close enough to tell what it was without binoculars. I was walking down a trail to go out to the boardwalk over the alligator march at Fontainebleau State Park when a bunch of people in front of me stopped abruptly. I didn't know what it was, and I saw a little woodpecker in a tree and I thought it was that until I looked a little higher and saw this eagle. All the shots are taken with my 70-200, so they're fairly heavy crops, but I just have to share my first decent eagle pictures. They're nothing special from a technical standpoint, but I like them nonetheless.

Those are the three best ones (in my opinion). The rest of the set can be found here (external link) on my Flickr.

Nice. I'm like you, only seen a wild bald eagle 3 times in my 31 years. One of my encounters almost turned south, I was in a car coming around a curve and nearly ran it over while it was scavenging road kill.
