Eagle on a Mission

I played tour guide today with my niece Jeanne and her husband David to several eagle nest locations around Kentucky Lake I caught this Bald Eagle as it heads on what I assume is a hunting mission after leaving it's nest off of hwy 917 at Lake City, Kentucky on October 24, 2020. Out of the three spots we visited this was the only location we found eagles. However, it was during midday, when they normally are out hunting.
