Bald Eagle

Great story! I'd love to hear how it ended too! This guy is definitely a Bald...they don't get their white head and tail until the 5th or 6th year. Congrats!

just did some more researched and found that bald eagles have black beaks like this one while goldens have yellow beaks... i think its a bald eagle.

How did it end? was the eagle able to jump back into the shore?

on the second picture he has a gold-ish colored nape however its beak looks a little long to be a golden eagle

nice work! but this doesn't really look like a bald eagle to me. I think it's a golden eagle

You saved this little guys life! For that, I will favorite this spotting.
