Here is another shot of the juvenile wild bald eagle. I was able to get pretty close to him (about 12 feet) and that was quite awesome and memorable.

Thanks, Al. It was indeed a treat to be so close although I am sure he could hear my heart pounding!

Thanks, Rog. I was able to see him fly; seems to have taken up residency on the beach and flew back and forth ever so often. However, I was unable to obtain flight shots as I was way too close and he generally flew away from where I was standing.
