Saw him again on Sunday and something was dangling from his talons as he flew to the tree. I suddenly realized he had a snake. As he landed he lost his grip and the snake fell into the water. I was like, “dang, Mr. Eagle, that’s like reaching the par 5 in 2 and 4 putting

Nice photos. I occasionally say to the group, “Hey, is that a bald eagle?” and point. When everyone looks I tap in my ball.

When I lined up my putt, he was looking straight at me. Too unnerving - moved my ball six feet left for the first time - then sank the 25 footer.

Never seen this before and since it was on the first tee, I was thinking that there were a lot of birdies out there. sadly not.

The pin flag in the background explains the whole situation. When the wind is up, seagulls always face into it when they are on the ground.
