First Bald Eagle

Today was a very special day for me.

I was on my way into the house when something prompted me to look up.

As I did I spotted a mature Bald Eagle circling over my yard.

I had on dirty shoes and had to get them off before I could get my camera.

I managed to do all this,while dropping my bags on the floor.

Unfortunately the bird had drifted further away,but I still got several shots.

This image has been cropped,but I am still very excited about getting it.

This is the first time I have seen a Bald Eagle from on my yard and it is the first one for 2012.

Spring Raptor Migration is happening soon,so perhaps this is a start.

Seeing this bird has got me primed and ready for migration to begin.

Thought for today:
Dare to soar - how successful you are is determined by your attitude.
