Can you give us some details of the shot itself, like how far away was the eagle, photo gear used?

thanks in advance!
The eagle was at the top of a pine tree next to our house, probably about 75 feet high. The camera is a Sony A-100 DSLR with an 18-200mm zoom lens. I had the lens fully zoomed out for the eagle shots. Fortunately the sun was behind me when I took the shots, although the eagle itself was facing away from me. I had to wait until he turned his head before I snapped the photos.
