I went down to my daughter's house today to plant some of her cold frames. The road between her house and my desired route home is closed due to construction, so I decided to take the most direct route, the dirt access road along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Half way along the road, I glanced up in a tree above the road and saw a Bald Eagle. I stopped the truck to look at him, he stayed put. Wondered if I could catch him on camera for proof. He stayed put. Turns out the first shot through the windshield was fuzzy. Duh, the camera focused on the windshield. I wondered if I could get a shot if I just cracked the door open. Worth a try. He stayed put. I took a shot.

There he is, see his pretty white head? Let me crop the picture to try to enlarge it a bit.
There, that is a bit better. Now you can see him in all of his glory. But oh no, I see he is taking off. Wonder if I can catch him in flight? Fat chance, so turn and click.
My lucky day. Got him. With a little hand held camera and a lot of luck. Let's take a little closer look.
Bye bye beautiful bird. You made my day.
