 Actually I know where they are, but don't want to drive the distance. 

Beautiful!

That's OK, Jim.  Your substitute is great.   

Nice shot.

 Thanks everyone. This was the only time I've been able to get so close to one of these guys. He was young and may have been injured. I got fairly close to him and he
flew. I waited a while and stalked him again getting right beneath him before he noticed. After I took several shots I tried everything to get him to fly for an in flight shot but he wouldn't budge. I even waved my arms and stomped my feet with him looking right at me! Guess he thought I was some kind of a harmless idiot.  

PAsserby's may have thought that!    

It is a great shot!

LOL Jim!  I have done that too, with smaller birds.  They just sit there and look at me like "Who's that strange person acting like a nut?" 
May I ask what lens you are shooting with?
We do have eagles out here at the lake, but I don't know if I can get close enough to them.  Only one way to find out, I guess.
Great shot.
