UNEXPECTED VISITOR

Looking out my bedroom window this morning I had to blink a couple times ~ is that really what I think it is?  There was a beautiful bald eagle at the wooded edge of my property.  The way it was moving told me it was stalking something.  Wanted to grab a camera but didn't want to move away for fear it would fly away and I'd miss another moment.  

Ran to get my iPad in my birthday suit as I'd just gotten out of the shower.  Thought I'd be smart and zoom in on the eagle but all I got was a closeup of the screen on the porch.

So reversed the zoom to get this next photo.  Don't know what the eagle was stalking, but was fun to watch it move toward its prey.  However, the move prevented me from getting a photo of the entire bird.  This is taken from the kitchen thru the back porch and deck.  Didn't go outside  as it would have immediately flown away.  

It may only a speck in this photo but it was a larger than life event for me to see such a magnificent creature in real time vs. some screen.  Shortly after this photo it flew into the woods and landed on a tree.  So am wondering it lives in this area because just flying over my property with the canopy overhead, don't think the eagle would spot a squirrel moving on the ground despite its 'eagle eyes'.
