P365.2, Day 8 - Life Goal Fail

After the time I startled an osprey on a low branch, I declared it a life goal to never startle a bald eagle. FAIL. It is very fortunate for me that I had in fact hit the bathroom immediately before going out on the kayak this evening. Bald eagles - even juveniles like this one - are big. And they look even bigger when they're swooping over you all unexpected like.

( A couple more eagle shots. And a couple other things that would have otherwise been candidates for photo of the day. )
