Very cool. We saw an immature bald eagle sitting on the beach at Race Point on the Cape last year. No one knew what the big disheveled bird was, and thought it might be hurt. A guy near us caught a bluefish and as he was reeling it in the bird took flight and swooped along the shore and snatched the fish right off the guy's line and flew off. It was only when we got back to our cottage and dug out an Audobon book that we realized what it was, and learned that while they like fish they don't really like to get wet, and are notorious for stealing fish from osprey.
The next day we saw it again soaring along above the dunes. I hope we start seeing more around here.
