Haliaeetus leucocephalus
A large predatory bird usually found along rivers, lakes, or sea coasts where their favorite prey is fish. Both males and females look the same, but the female is about a third larger than the male. A mature bald eagle is uniformly brown with white head and tail and a yellow, hooked bill. Immatures have brown heads and tails, with scattered blotches of whitish coloration on their bodies and wings.
Usually found along water features.
These two eagles were fighting over the fish that can be seen in the background.

Thanks Christy. I love watching and photographing the interaction between animals and doubly so for birds, especially raptors.
Love this!
