Consider yourself blessed.Seroiusly.There is no greater honor that can be bestowed upon an American than to have such an upclose and personal encounter with a Bald Eagle.

they may not be that common a sight around these parts, but i heard recently that they will be taken off the protected species list and considered fully recovered.

Eagles are making a strong comeback. There are plenty nesting at Plum Island and there is a resident eagle at Sandy Neck. I will bet he has a mate also. One of their favorite foods is PLOVERS. I agree that they are a majestic bird and welcome their return to the area. Another bird making a recovery is the Ospry. There is a family of Osprys on Plum Island and when they are hunting in the morning they are something to see. The wingspan is awsome.

To have a close encounter with that bird must have given you a racing stripe in your shorts.

It was pretty awesome. Like I said, I went back and saw him the next two nights/mornings even though I knew I prob. wouldn't get any more fish. Funny, the Eagle was situated right were the stakes were up and ropes barracaded for the Plovers..Thing is, I didn't hear or see any plovers.....
