I love this photo I found on Flickr. The grace and movement of this beautiful bird are so wonderfully captured. Credit for this awesome shot goes to Nikographer (Jon).

I have yet to really master the capturing-birds-in-flight thing. That is really something I need to get better at as they spend most of their time doing that and very little time sitting on branches patiently waiting whilst I snap some photos. We haven't seen a Bald Eagle since we started bird watching in earnest, but hope to soon. Matt really wants to ID some raptors. I would think it has to be easier than these other itty-bitty birds, but bird watching is a lot harder than I would have thought at all to begin with. I love the birds.
