Truly mesmerizing.

They're awesome birds! I've seen them in Eastern Canada - in Cape Breton and also out in Vancouver. I also once saw one flying high at our cottage in northern Quebec. That was a rare sighting. I know what you mean about them flying - they are majestic.
I visited Maere Island, off Vancouver Island in BC. It was truly a unique experience. Like stepping into Jurassic Park. Ancient cedars and pines towered into the sky. Massive bald eagle nests were everywhere. Truly incredible - and sad - that such primitive places still exist in small pockets. The island was scheduled to be logged, but was saved by public pressure.
