On our Cabot Trail journey we stopped off to get some shots of the beautiful coastline. Suddenly this bird flew past. Is this an eagle? It was a very large bird. Had to crop in quite a lot so not as sharp as I would like.

Many thanks for your great comments on yesterdays shots - very much appreciated!!
Great shot, Pam, pretty sure it's a Golden Eagle.

OR is it a juvenile eagle? I think they are brown. What fun to have seen it go by!

I can't guess what it is, it doesn't look like a juvenile bald eagle, they have some mottled white on their bodies. Golden Eagle? It just doesn't look quite the same as the pictures I saw on the internet. Since I think I've only seen one in a zoo, I can't tell.
