BASIC IV Bald Eagle recently at the beach area, BESP, PA

This BASIC IV plumaged Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was seen while it attempted to grab a fish out of the water near the beach at Bald Eagle State Park, PA: November 22, 2014. It did not get the fish, but did send a mixed flock of Common Mergansers, and Hooded Mergansers and a few Horned Grebes swimming to safer waters. Olympus OM-D EM 5 camera with Lumix 45 - 200mm f5.6 lens, ISO 500. Images were adjusted for contrast and cropped in Photoshop CS6.
