It is a crystal clear day in southern Pennsylvania. I took my modified Wild Hawk out for a flight at my house a few minutes ago. Thought about mounting the camera since it is such a beautiful sky, but chose not to. I took her up pretty high, cut the motor and caught sight of a bird soaring out of the corner of my eye. Decided to head for it, as it seemed to have found a decent thermal. I figured it was a buzzard, but noticed the outstretched wings were flat - no dihedral. It was still far enough away that I couldn't positively identify it, but I pretty much knew what it had to be. My hands started trembling. Then, as it circled, I got a full view from its bottom side. Sure enough, Bald Eagle! I managed to get fairly close, but kept a healthy distance. I was able to soar with it for a couple of minutes, then it angled its wings and glided off to the west. It was an AWESOME experience! Of course, no camera on board.
