Mom? What's a difficult child?
I hadn't seen the Sea Eagle before so I looked them up.... quite beautiful. I think they look somewhat like our Osprey, which nest right off of the front of our house... we have a pretty tall Cedar that has a flat spot on top that the Opsrey build a nest on in the spring and spend all summer in, they have gone now and then the Bald and Golden Eagles come and take over... quite impressive.
Marg do the Sea Eagles submerge like our's do when hunting? I have witnessed a Baldy grab hold of a coot and sink under for a few minutes in the winter I screamed for husband, The Eagle in drowning!!! It started flapping it's wings, which is quite impressive and thrust itself up out of the water and onto an iceberg!!! It sat and devoured the little coot!!! I have seen this happen 3 times now!!! I have never seen the Golden's or the Osprey do this, yet...

Marg is your son a lover of all Eagles??? Or just your local Eagles? The Raptors are one of the reasons that I would hate to move from here... it is so amazing sitting outside with a cup of coffee and watching 7 or so Golden and Bald Eagles fighting on the ice over a Coot or a fish!!!
