A Real American Eagle

Hey Guys,
I just returned from a wonderful winter vacation in Yellowstone National Park. I was able to take a picture of a Bald Eagle perched in a old tree overlooking the Firehole River. I used a very inexpensive digitial camera, but I shot throught a 60 power spotting scope. I think the results are kind of special.

Very nice Mike, my wife Terry saw her first eastern Bald Eagle near our house the other day.

Nice picture. I don't understand why she's called "bald"... either in print or in this picture, AE does have feather on the head.

because from a distance it looked so white compared to the rest. Just a name that stuck...
