That had to be a thrill to see one that close up, P.
About 5 years ago my wife and I put the canoe in at Poxono on the Delaware to fish at dusk.
As we came out of the cove, about 200 ft. away, a Bald Eagle swept down picked up a fish in his talons and slowly circled around upward along the side of the mountain and flew off. My wife caught the whole thing on tape. I haven't seen it for awhile and fear it was put in the attic, lost forever along with 1/2 the world stored up there.
