Sorry to keep boring you with Eagle shots, but I can't help myself. I saw this one today while I was returning from visiting my mother at the Nursing Home. It was dining on a roadkill possum on the highway. Of course it flew when I approached, so I continued home and got my Nikon D7000 and the Nikkor 70-300mm lens. I wish I had a more powerful lens, but poor folks have poor ways.

I drove back and found it sitting in a tree. I got out of range and helped him watch the possum. The traffic was quite busy for the time and we just looked at each other, neither one making a move. He finally outlasted me and I left him to dine after the crowd had thinned. It was in the sun and I got his eye pretty good, so that is why I am posting. Just a little cropping, otherwise this is how it came out of the camera. Anyone want to join it for possum?
