The Eagle

An American Bald Eagle(the second one I've photographed that day) lifting off out of a cornfield, taking a kill to a close by nest. My wife and I had been watching this beautiful bird for almost five minutes. It took off, circled about three times, and landed in another tree. After a very short while it took off again, circled a few more times, then made a bee line to an open field and landed. A few seconds later it lifted off with and with a few power strokes of it's wings was up and away heading to its nest.
