Bald Eagle Looking for Lunch

One of the most majestic of raptors, this young eagle was a majestic sight soaring over the water. Flying low and fast this eagle came within just a few meters of the observing platform that Monique was on, just as she was getting ready to shut down for the day. Her camera, fortunately, was in hand and she caught several frames of the eagle flying past, seemingly at arm’s length. What a magnificent ending to a long morning.
