That distant, tiny dot above the tree horizon is something special.

Friday afternoon I was walking here on River Road in Sewall’s Point, just a few blocks from home, when I heard an Osprey screaming. It flew over my head, chased by a slightly larger bird.

They circled back around and passed over again, Osprey in the lead, distinctive black and white bird on its tail.

Bald Eagle!

My guess is that the Osprey had a nest with chicks. I think they stayed safe.

I was super-excited to see a Bald Eagle. I wished there were other people around too I could yell and point at the sky, “Bald Eagle!”

But at least I had my camera so I could point and shoot and share it later.

What a bold, beautiful bird.
