Majestic Eagle

We frequently see bald eagles in our area and this morning, we spotted this one on the side of the road having a little snack. I had my little camera in my purse, so we pulled over on the other side of the road so as not to disturb it, and snapped these. It was funny to see people craning their necks (as we did!) when they passed it and realized what it was. It was about 15 feet from the side of the road. I've seen this eagle in this section of trees many times, but never down on the ground. After a few minutes of snacking, he took off and I was so happy that we drove by at that moment.
