Serendipitous photo of a bald eagle carrying some nesting material
across the historic Yorktown, VA battlefield crossing a US flag in
the background.

Very nice! You did your part of the job pretty well, too, so the luck
wasn't wasted.

Really good. I saw a big hawk with a rat in its claws the other day,
but I was in my car.


That's the thing. I started out driving from the waterfront from the
morning dog walk. Caught a glimpse of a large bird from behind, but
couldn't initially tell if it was an eagle or turkey vulture until the
light caught the tail. I pulled off onto the grass and grabbed the
camera off the passenger seat and got a couple shots in sequence with
this being one of the better ones.
