Yup, seen them on the Montreal River.. Great shot!
I still remember seeing it lif and following it for a bit. What an awesome bird of prey!! I betcha cormorants would give that one a wide birth..
Something to ponder.. If decoys were set up in the midst of a colony of nesting birds. Have some recordings of eagle cries and play them continuously at 20 minute intervals, at 150 decibels.. That would send those beasties packing!!
Meanwhile, clutches go cold, chicks go hungry. Play this at the height of the breeding season until it's too late to lay another clutch, problem solved.
cheers
