An eagle cruises above the bank of the Potomac near Alexandria, Virginia in 2002. I was somewhat discouraged after a day of not seeing eagles at Mason's Neck NWR. Halfway back to Arlington I stopped at a park along the Potomac to see if I could get a decent sunset shot when this eagle swooped past. I was able to get this somewhat blurry shot before it disappeared. I've gotten thousands of images of eagles in the wild since this one, but this was the first.
