Lift-Off

Vancouver Island, BC

I just happened to look up at the right time to see this eagle sitting in a tall fir tree and caught it just as it started to take off. This is a really large specimen of the bald eagle. Both the male and female have the same markings, however the female is about 30% larger than the male, so I'm guessing this is a female of the species.
