I looked at the records for North America. I had hoped for one, but never expected to see one. It came as a shock. Just a magnificent bird, with the slow, deep wing beats, it was really cool. The movie Jurassic Park came to mind. Bob - if you know who reported an immature a few months ago on the northern Oregon coast, please find out more

The massive eagle threw me off for a bit as it flew towards me. I see Bald Eagles daily at my home on Willapa Bay. Until it got closer, I could not determine what group of birds it was in. The wings were very large, and it flew in a leisurely way with quite deep wing beats.
