I am animating the Daz eagle model in Poser to take into Vue. I want one or possibly several of those aerial shots of the ground so I can make the eagle fly over them. I am talking about a real realistic one from great height that looks impressive, it could be fields, houses, whatever. I want to slap it on a flat terrain, so it must be huge. I will buy it too, if the price is reasonable. Thanks if anyone can help!

http://www.satimagingcorp.com/index.html this is the website for the ikonos high resolution satellite, I couldn't find their terms of use for the photos available though so I'd check on that before using them you might also try NASA. Just my 2 cents.

These are satellite images as well, not really suited for an eagle, but they are still cool if you don't know that site :)

Thanks all for the links! I started searching myself on the web (Duh!) and found some other cool stuff, not real usable, but I was able to find my house on terrafinder! There's something eerie about being able to look at anything in the U.S. from an aeriel view.
