On the way home today from Paris, Illinois, we spotted this eagle in this old dead tree out in a pasture...right on the outskirts of town. At first I thought it was a vulture, then I thought, NO! I seen a white head. Lucky for me there was a place to pull off the road good.
He (or she??) was a good ways away...I originally thought the length of a football field but now I am not so sure.
It had poured the rain on the way over there....he looks like he was out in it all.
We sat and watched him quite a while...
Doesn't he look sort of sad here?
It never did fly, but we thought we might as well leave and let it relax....
These were all taken with my little Point&shoot camera, and I just could not hold steady, even had trouble when I put it on the monopod...
