Bald Eagle Takes Flight. 

Sorry for the mixed quality.
I was trying to record their call & I was too late. All of a sudden, the eagle took off. I did not expect the eagle to fly. I was hand holding & the light was bad.
I thought the eagle was going to fish, but it just made a circle and returned near its original perch.
You can see how much power they have when it is about to land & it is thrusting its wings to climb upwards to land on the upper branch.
( I like the little readjustment hop at the very end of the video)
