First eagle pics of the year (GRAPHIC)

First Eagle I have been able to photograph this year, he was on a carcass, a big bird at that. This is a very heavy crop and it was a dark dreary day. I am hearing that more are in Fishing now so hopefully some images on the way.

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

Really great capture even though the lighting wasn't cooperating. On the 2 occasions I've seen an eagle on the ground and feeding, I've been traveling 60+mph down a highway.

Thanks for the comments.

Cannot tell from the pictures. Any idea what he was eating?

Yes, he was eating on a small whitetail buck.
