Bald Eagle, Yellowstone National Park

This is a photo of an adult bald eagle perched on a large rock in Yellowstone National Park.

I had just started my drive along the Old Yellowstone Trail when I saw this bald eagle perched on a large rock up ahead. The rock was right next to the road. I stopped well short of the bird and took some photos. I drove a little farther and photographed the bird again. Then I drove a little more and photographed the bird a third time. I was using an 800mm lens with a 1.4 tele-extender, so I didn’t need to get very close. At that point I was done. Time to drive past and, hopefully, not flush the bird.  As I passed, I was happy to see it didn’t move.
