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

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.

Beautiful shot. I'm not wild about the throwing of the fish though. They get used to eating stuff
thrown out by humans and soon they're eating crap, or worse. That guy looks as though he's well able
to get his own food. Hope he doesn't electrocute himself. My wife was watching eagles on the 'net,
and one that had hatched while she was watching killed himself landing on electric wires.
