Eagle At Sunset
Late yesterday afternoon, just as the sun was close to setting, we saw this bald eagle cruising above the marsh hunting for a meal.
At one point it flew right over our heads, lit by the glow of the warm setting sunlight. Notice also the jet contrails visible in the sky…it was a great day to be in the air!

This is a perfect picture – love it! An inspirational quotation could be added to it 🙂
Thanks so much! I’m really happy you like the eagle pic!

Beautiful picture. We saw one over downtown Conway this morning.
Thanks much for looking and commenting George!
Definitely got the “golden” going there!!!! Lovely
This boy looked nice in the sun didn’t he? 😀
Keep looking. One of these days you’ll find an eagle leaving a contrail, and then you’ll be both rich and famous!
Really – a beautiful eagle and a gorgeous shot. The sunset glow is perfect.
Some of these birds zip by so quick I’m surprised they don’t leave a contrail. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, and glad you liked the eagle photo!
Phil first off thanks ever so much for the help. I have a long, long way to go but with people like you around it will make
the road a little easier. Now here Donna and I leave after waiting on the eagle and you get to see it. Also the sunset
was so great yesterday we should have stayed around. By the way I am having a cup of coffee with you lol.

Thank you very much Geri May for your kind words and I’m glad you have been enjoying the photos and coffee! 😀
What a beautiful photo! And what a perfect way to end the day.
Thanks a bunch Molly! It was a great end to the day, and we almost left earlier and missed it.
Of course right at the exact time the eagle came by, a group of white pelicans flew over too. I was watching the eagle and almost totally missed the pelicans.
Here you joined two of your favourite themes – a bird and a sunset and the result is breathtaking….
Thank you very much for your kind words Paula and I’m glad you enjoyed these photos!
Wonderful shot. That glow made it looking incredible.
Thank you Ewa. I appreciate you looking and commenting!
