Bald Eagle

This is my close up shot of the bald eagle that was featured with the photographer on Alki Beach in two previous posts this month.

The Bald Eagle is the USA's national bird.since 1782. John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the USA, said this: "The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America." Have a great day!

What a stunning capture with wonderful details. Is it normal to find them on the beach Gloria? I was wondering when I saw it in your first post.

@ludwigsdiana Yes. In fact on the day of this photo, there was another eagle about half mile north on the beach.

Incredible capture- they really are a majestic bird. Did you know Benjamin Franklin was pushing for the Turkey to be our national bird? I'm so glad others prevailed with the choice of the eagle! Great shot!
