June 9 - Eagle

This eagle was sitting on the beach. We do not know if 1) it was molting, or 2) had eaten too much or 3) was hurt. It stayed at one point for most of the day. In the late afternoon it flew to the hear by tree line.

I was about 15 feet away from the Eagle when I took this picture.

Fantastic and very l;ucky to ba able to get so close. If he flew away injury could not have been too bad, so let's over indulgement
