Eastern Buzzard Launching from a Lamp Post

Spotted an Eastern Buzzard using lamp posts as perches for hunting around US Army Garrison Humphreys. From the comfort of my car I patiently waited for the buzzard to launch from the lamp post and was lucky enough to catch the image of wings fully spread before the first big flap for altitude.
