Golden on the Lookout

On my drive up the South Fork highway, I pulled over at the Forest Service boundary to check out the incredible vista. Before I could even get out of my car, however, I looked over to my right to see this golden eagle perched on the ground not 30 yards away. Knowing he'd bolt if I stepped out of the car, I rolled down my window and snapped this image from the vehicle. Shot with my 70-300mm at 300mm; 1/60 sec. at f5.6.
