Arrival in Juneau

We arrived at Juneau and tied up to the dock. Still had some time before we could head off to our excursions so I stared out over the balcony as we waited. A dark shape moved in over the port and I tried my best to snap some shots of this bird as it nearly blended in to the dark trees.

Golden Eagle

My conclusion is that it was a Golden Eagle. Just wish it would have come closer. These shots are heavily cropped.

Sticking by my decision. I have scoured the internet and every book I own on birds. And there are many...

The bird eventually settled on a tree and I lost sight of it. Nice adrenaline rush, regardless. Now off to new sights!
