Thank you for all your generous comments. This was perhaps the best photo I took on my Alaska trip. You normally can't get a close shot of a bald eagle (they are considered endangered in most states, except for Alaska), but in Homer you can approach them and get a pretty decent shot.

Take Care,

Sam
