Surprise visitor

We took a cruise on the Osprey around the Cape May marshlands and saw this bald eagle in a place the captain said was highly unusual for it to be sitting. Everybody on board was happy he was there!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/500s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso320 full exif

Eagles hang out where ever they want to... If there's food nearby, they'll be there.
