A Bald Eagle Sighting!!!!!!!!!

Yep. Spotted one on the front beach this morning. I gave chase, but only managed a few poor photographs from a good ways away. It was very shy, but impressive even from far away. I cropped a few just to get a closer look and for identification purposes. Talk about get the adrenaline pumping.
