Or a bald eagle. That's why I always try to take along my camera. I almost didn't yesterday because the weather was rainy but how glad I am I did.
Two large birds were in the road near the bridge (a little traveled road, fortunately) just in front of my car as I headed to the grocery store. I stopped immediately and reached for my camera as they took off. One was dark but the other had a white head and white tail and settled in a nearby tree. My first shots were through the windshield but then, when the bird stayed put, I set the emergency brake and slowly got out.
I got a few more shots before the eagle became uncomfortable with the paparazzi.
Always take along your camera!

Oh how wonderful! Hopefully they will nest nearby too. Good for you with camera at the ready.
Wow! Great photographs of a rare sight in our neck of the woods. So glad you had the camera.
WOW!!! Vicki -- what an incredible set of pix! Are they local or migrating? I have never seen one over here but that does not mean we don't have them. Thanks for a lovely way to start the day...
Pretty sure they're local along the river. Paddlers spot them fairly often.
