This Bald Eagle was seen just inside Dibben Bay by Bob and Rennee Gall. It had probably just gotten out of the water from a long swim to shore after missing a basking Northern Pike. Bald Eagles are not very good swimmers, no actually they are very bad swimmers. Although they float pretty well and are generally not in danger during their unplanned dips, their feathers can soak up a lot of water. This eagle stayed on the shore for a couple of hours drying out and resting.
