I've never seen one up here, although they're seen frequently further south along the Potomac.

Hope you're day is spectacular!



We've had an unusual load of hawks and 'fish eagles' here this summer. Probably taking advantage of the large rains and back waters from last year. not to mention the small game that's in abundance.



That eagle should take advantage of the sea gull though.

Here's the eagle that was hanging around my sister's house in cape Breton.
The utility pole fed a detached garage a bit in from the road.
My brother-in-law would throw a frozen fish onto the field on occasion.
