I had a chance to shoot an adult plumage Bald Eagle the day after Thanksgiving. I couldnt get very close and I'm limited to 400mm on my 100-400 but I like how this turned out. I have like 40 of this same shot, or very similar. LOL

Its definitely no Wallace River shot but I'll take it.
At least I get nice blue skies!! :p
