Bald Eagle soars overhead

My daughter came running into the house on her first day off of school for the summer. "There's a bald eagle flying over the house!" I rush out with her and shield my eyes from the mid-day sun as I look up in the sky and, indeed, there WAS a bald eagle up there; white head, white tail feathers, wing span you wouldn't believe. Now you say, so what. Well I've never see a one in Ellicott City, Maryland before. Of course after a few seconds I ran in to find the camera (that pic is not the one I saw) but by that time it had flown off.
