Ferocious Intent

While searching the high bluffs and tree line with the river to my back I saw this eagle launch from a large tree diving towards the river. Nearly overhead I was able to get a series of photos with this being one of the best. My camera EXIF says 28.2 meters (about 92.5 feet). Only a little crop on this, it shows the war-bird image so often associated with eagles. Truly a lucky photo on my part as I was about to leave this location. Sometimes it pays to wait a few minutes and let nature find our camera.
