Fifty years ago when I was a teenager, had you told me the day would come when I had an eagle 100 feet from the back door, I would have believed you crazy.
The dog killed a possum in the yard and left it there. I just happened to look out the door this afternoon and there was the juvenile bald eagle munching on the half frozen possum. Shooting from inside the house through the open door, I used a Nikon D800 and 2.8 80-200 lens. This is the second time this winter I’ve had eagles around the house. The photo is taken off the computer screen so leaves a lot to be desired but I can’t get my phone to access the computer.

Your eagle looks more like a hawk to me
Great shot but that immature Eagle isn't!

Doesn't look like an eagle to my eye - much more like some species of hawk.
Looks like a red tail hawk

Definitely not an eagle. It's a Red-tailed Hawk.
