A Distinguished Park Visitor



I was back at Opal Beach today, checking on the same nest from yesterday (still no hatchlings) and doing a bird survey. Can you tell what bird this is that was visiting the park today?

I need a better lens to capture this guy, but I'll work on it. Right now, all I have is a 300 mm, so this is as close as I could get. He kind of belongs in a National Park, doesn't he?

There's a tendency to dismiss eagles as "cliche" considering they are our national bird and have come to generically symbolize environmentalism in many ways, ... but your right, it's one bird that always grabs my attention, and my imagination like no other. I've seen a couple down here in the Big Cypress Swamp, there's one popular perch not too far down the road.
