Went to Bar Harbor Maine for a few days with my wife. Caught this one. Not perfect but it was the first time I ever saw an eagle in the wild.

Congratulations on your first eagle sighting and capture of one. They are amazing to see in flight aren't they?

Yes. Incredible to see them fly. I felt so lucky as there rarely around where I live.

Very nice, I like it.

Congratulations on the first, and on the good pictures. I have my first eagle photo lying around somewhere, the only way I can tell it's an eagle is I know what I shot. Terrible picture, taken through the windshield of my car in poor light, and WAY underglassed for the job. Yours are much better than that, glad you were able to do so well with a first.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
