Three Eagles in Ketchikan Alaska

I was on a boat tour with my family in Ketchikan, Alaska. Suddenly we say numerous American Bald Eagles in flight and in the trees. I like this shot because the one in flight is flanked by two others observing from branches in the trees. I cropped it to give an up close and personal feel of the one in flight, while maintaining the context of their home.
