American Bald Eagle

Today we took a drive up to Honeymoon Island near Dunedin, FL. It's north of Clearwater and is about an hour's drive from where we live in Riverview. Here's a few pictures of a bald eagle perching in a large pine tree. The distance and lighting were difficult, but here's a few of the best in the series that I took.

This was the first picture.


After a few steps up the trail, this was the second one.


After re-positioning for an attempt at better lighting and an unobstructed view, here's the third one.

He's got his eyes on us.

Although we were very close to this magnificent symbol of America, it's relative when it comes to taking a nice photograph. The fourth photo is a much tighter crop. When the picture was taken, we were standing at least 50-60 yards away and the eagle was perched 40-50 feet above our position.
