Thanks for the reminder. Maybe we'll see you out there. My youngest son is a huge fan of eagles and this would be perfect.

Bump. Wanted to repost to see if anybody might go to this. It is coming up next weekend and if the weather permits, I will probably end up going on Sunday. I won't be taking a boat ride out for close-ups of the eagles. i will just hope that one happens to get close enough to shore to let me get a shot.


A Hawk I think. Wouldn't it be cool if it was an eagle?

I got a definite identification. It is a juvenile bald eagle. Guess I don't need to go to the eagle festival now. No, I still plan on going, though we may be under a noreaster that weekend.
