-any sign of why this individual was on the ground, or was it just being friendly? Perhaps, the temperature was just too hot to do anything!

Jim ... he/she appeared to be quite happy, healthy and relaxed - perhaps just taking a break and soaking up some rays! (haha) Afterwards, he/she was heading towards some woods and a river about 1 block away. There's also a large conservation area nearby. Perhaps when the weather settles down a bit, I should be looking for a nest? The one I sighted on Sunday was large, the one today was very large! I'm wondering if Sunday's was a male and today's was a female.

-that would seem to fit the reverse sexual dimorphism formula.

The Bald Eagle is stronger than me. I can't handle this +44c humidex temperature and smoggy weather! Blah. All day and all night air conditioner running this week. I'm trying to go out the door as little as possible.
