The Eagle has landed

The Eagle Has Landed...but I didn't get the picture.  A couple of days ago,, over our first cup of coffee, just as the sun rose above the horizon, we watched a Bald Eagle swoop down and land on the beach, just out of sight because it was tight to the bank above the beach.  I watched for a good 5 minutes and the eagle never reappeared.  So I knew it had something down on the beach and I tried to  sneak into a position that would get me a clear shot.  It saw me before I could get an unobstructed spot.  But I did get an image of a sparrow and a wood lily on the beach.  Pics below.  As always please click to enlarge the image for the best viewing experience.
