Bald Eagle drying wings

I missed its bath,  but captured some shots of this Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) drying off its wings after swimming near the Cooke Aquaculture hatchery on the Oak Haven Rd. Oak Bay, NB.  The eagle made a few attempts at flight and then resolved to spread his wings and wait.  All this seen at 13:00 27-July-2009.
