I’ve lived in the NW most of my life and finally spotted a Seahawk!

Mean looking bird. That photo doesn't look real. There is a black line all around the bird.

That is a lucky find and an incredible shot. These birds have been shy about showing themselves in public lately.

Great work. You need to post this in the Post Processing section also.

Back in the 70's when I lived in the PacNW that line us how they protected themselves. Sometimes WYSIWYG!

Could you write out the remark for those of us who cannot decipher a bunch of abbreviations?

I dunno, looks like a American Bald Eagle to me. Looked up the definition of Sea Hawk and it is either a skua or Osprey. This is neither. Of course this was posted April 1st...

Looks to me like a 'doctored' picture of a bald eagle. It's NOT a 'real' sea hawk.

WYSIWYG-What you see is what you get. In this case, what you got is an April fool's prank. The Seahawks are a football team.

That is a famous but frequently inept Seahawk desperation maneuver, the forward bullet. I hear it is frequently intercepted by Bears, Falcons, Rams and other NFL wildlife.
