Finally got a good shot of the Bald Eagle. There is a hint of over exposure on the top of his head, but I hope the sharpness of his eyes makes up for it.

Shot through a vertical wire fence.

I dedicate this photo to Stephen Colbert, if you watch his show, you know why!!! :P

Resubmitted: Better crop, larger size, no border, worked on over exposure

I don't know the story behind the feathers - maybe they were taking care of a sick eagle? I'd hope so at least!
