Thanks you all...and thanks to Karen for using it on the Facebook page!
That's a big fish!
Great series and video ceherzog!
Fun fact! Bald eagles are of course not actually bald, but get their name from an older meaning of "white headed”. Juvenile eagles are predominately brown, and lack the distinctive snowy-white head and tail feathers until they gain their adult plumage at around four years of age. This sub-adult is just going through that awkward in-between phase! https://upload.facebook.com/projectnoah/...
