Nottingham Resident Captures Photos of Bald Eagle

The third bald eagle sighting on Dec. 15.
I have lived in the Nottingham area since 1993 and have never seen a Bald Eagle in my life time. Until June 23, 2014, on the way to work.
I usually look to the trees for a hawk that frequents Barnsley and surrounding roads. He always seems to be in a place that I can't pull over. On this day I noticed the white head and did a double take. I found a place to turn around and pulled in a driveway across the street. He was so majestic!
At the time I only had my iPhone, and the pictures were just enough to tell it was an eagle, but nothing more but proof to my employer, who kindly appreciates my hobby. I was 5-10 minutes late to work that day. However, I explained that I saw my first eagle and shared the (not so great) pictures and all was forgiven.
[He] was more concerned that something had happened to me. I am blessed to have such an understanding and supportive employer. It was actually his idea for me submit my pics to a local paper.
I didn't spot the eagle again until Nov. 13. He was in the same group of trees on Barnsley Road in Nottingham. This time I was prepared with a real camera, given to me in August, by my loving and supportive parents! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.
