Hello,

 

This morning while walking on Martinique Beach (Eastern Shore) we saw some
bird activity at a far distance near the end of the beach (gulls, crows, and
two large bird of prey).  We suspected something had washed up - which
turned to be a whale.

I would appreciate someone helping with identification. I paced off the
length at about 7.5m or 8m.

 

The birds of prey moved off long before we were close. Later we could see
them at a distance. I had trouble identifying them at first until I noticed
the presence of a mature Bald Eagle as well  - therefore I'm pretty sure
they were two immature Bald Eagles (sorry for not being sure as we didn't
get a close look).
