January 12, 2022

I am known as a Bald Eagle
I've been in Florida since the late Pleistocene
Very few Bald Eagle fossils date from that time
Currently, they've only found around 17.

(Be sure to click the link below, very interesting article. I will have to hit the Florida Museum one of these days, haven't been there in years - maybe a post pandemic field trip!)
 
Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
