This photo is courtesy of my dad. Beautiful bird! An adult and young bald eagle made a visit to my parent's cottage on Wednesday. What a stunning sight that must have been, to see these majestic birds so close. My dad described that the wingspan of the adult eagle was close to 7 ft. -- I doubted him, but according to this website, that's entirely possible as the male wingspan can reach up to 85 in. The cottage is in northern Ontario, on the shores of Lake George.

When we were at Mabel Lake the bald eagles were everywhere. They truly are beautiful birds who seem to stay in pairs. Got a chance to seem them close up this year. The wingspan is outstanding!
