I was hoping to get some train pictures on the Kansas City Southern railroad bridge near Hillview, Illinois. I never saw any trains, but while I was waiting I spotted this bald eagle flying around. It ended up landing in a large oak tree in front of my car. I first tried photographing it through the windshield, then I opened the car door and took a few picture before it flew away.
