first time I've seen one--hope you birders can see what it is

Nice eagle!

sat there on the beach for 10 minutes looking around, then flew off.

It was probably lost

Fresh fish?

stake a rabbit out there on the beach... maybe he'll come back...

I considered getting the .22 and harvesting this bird because I wanted the beak and the claws

^ Oh Chit!

An Indian freind of mine was trying to get one for some sort of ceremonial thing. Illegal to kill and stuff one but he found a loop-hole... haven't talked to him in a couple years tho..

yeah, ARN, they are big fish eaters, but my understanding is that it is salmonids rather than the type of fish that might be ocean shore.

great feathers, Drafter! Best kind for those dressy occassions when jeans and a T-shirt just won't do!

true... he was involved in a local Indian church. I don't think he planned to pluck it and wear it.

Did the bird in the pic leave any feathers for you..?? might be worth looking around..

did ya find any..??

I been too busy to go look.

I dispatched the squaw to go look and she came back empty-headed

lol... maybe he'll come back..

I'll go clean the gun

Tase and release

Meh. Taste like chicken.

Did I ever mention the time when I think I saw a Bald Eagle in one of the worst places of Detroit?

True story.

I think they have a bigger habitat than people realize
