Thanks for the kind responses, and especially the pics, everyone. This was the very first wild bald eagle I have ever seen in my whole life, and it was just sitting there looking around, just like a crow or buzzard would do.

I'm too paranoid to tell anyone where I live (other than it's in the puritanical and philo-Semitic Upper South), but I can tell you that bald eagles are not common here, though I've heard of them being seen lately. Maybe they'll become more common (I certainly hope so!).

Buzzards, crows, and hawks on the other hand are quite common here. It's not at all unusual to see a beautiful red tailed hawk sitting on the power lines as one drives down the road. They're really beautiful birds too.

Thanks again to everyone.

A bird lady at work would always correct people when they called a North American bird a buzzard.

I can hear her saying “they’re vultures not buzzards”
Buzzards aren’t native to No.Amer.
