Bald Eagle with its lunch (graphic) in Yukon

Caught the white head in the corner of my eye while driving the Alaska Highway last week.
Turned the car around, saw it was a bald eagle, then noted it had a fresh lunch.

It was quite patient with me!

cool, is that a chipmunk? At what distance

Nice catch! I rarely see them with such a meal. I know a spot that is crawling with rabbits and a good number of resident eagles and have never understood how carefree the rabbits seems to be.

Possibly a red squirrel. It doesn't have the white/black markings on the face of a chipmunk. Both are common in this area though. My avatar is a local red squirrel.

Initially I was a couple of hundred feet away. After taking a few shots, I moved closer in my car for more shots. Then closer again. And then again. Eventually I was almost at the gate. As long as I stayed in my car the eagle remained calm. I slowly opened my door once and it became agitated. So I closed the door and continued to shoot through the open window.

Started shooting with the 100-400mm at 400mm and close-up was shooting around 125mm.
Wish the day hadn't been so overcast BUT happy with the shots. Bald eagles aren't common in this area. However, golden eagles are common.
