Juvi eagle with fish and boring background :(

[coastalconn]

I was super pumped to catch this 2nd year eagle this morning.. We have very few year round Eagles in CT. I was trying to catch a kingfisher when I noticed a bunch of egrets freaking out and taking flight. Then this huge group of ducks took off. Sweet! I knew an eagle was coming.. Sure enough I picked him up as soon as he flew over some trees. Well it's a simple sky background and nothing I could do. I was shooting in aperture mode and forgot my ISO was at 640 which is a little higher than I like to take the D300. But pretty happy to finally catch this juvenile with a fish.... Comments welcome...
