Re: birds

About 6 months ago, I noticed something about as big as a medium-size dog on
the jetty near the beach and got the binoculars to have a better look. It
was a bald eagle striding up and down, looking for a fish. After 5 minutes
or so, it jumped into the water and then flew away with a luckless fish in
its grasp.
