Hi guys,

Please help with a bird I saw today, on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA.

Apologies for the low quality pics, but hopefully there's enough for a positive ID.

Thanks for any help. :t:

I'm pretty sure this is a young bald eagle.

I think it is an Osprey. 2nd picture shows white on the underwing and dark flight feathers and wrists.

Bald Eagle; underwing covs. are mixed with white in immatures, and it has a large head and heavy bill.

Indeed, a first-year Bald Eagle.
