Gorgeous creature--we have a pair who I spotted just this morning fishing off a signal tower in front of my home (I live on a river). They have such a distinct call so I almost always hear them when they're fishing so I can get outside and watch. We also have at least one bald eagle nearby, but I've only spotted him twice.
