Bald Eagle at Harlem Meer

I was up at the Harlem Meer yesterday photographing Buffleheads and was just about to pack up and leave when I glanced up and saw this huge bird about 40-50 feet circling overhead. What a shock when I realized it was a mature Bald Eagle. I swung my camera around and was able to get a few shots off before he headed west. He didn't circle again and kept on flying.

I have never seen a Bald Eagle flying this low over the park before and there has never been a report of one landing in the park.
