IN Ketchikan, Alaska, there are a couple of places where eagles like to congregate. I hung out for a few hours and had a few eagles flying around. Here is one shot in pretty tough light.
D4S 200-400 f4 ISO 500 1/500@ f5.6 matrix metering -0.7 EV

Thanks Homer. The D4S does a very good job in difficult light, yet I dialed in -0.7 EV to keep from blowing out the head and backlit tail feathers.

Chris, very well done in tough light, a nice sweeping pose and I like that backlit tail.

You did very well in difficult conditions. I like the flared and highlighted tail.
The background, as mentioned, is not ideal.

Cheers
