Early Morning Eagle

On my way to my volunteer shift this morning I took a quick detour hoping to see a coyote or deer.  I struck out and was going to turn back when I saw a large, dark bird in a tree.  Could it be?  Yes!  An immature bald eagle!

Early morning shadows didn't allow for a great photo but I was happy to get at least this shot.

What a great way to start the day!
