Eagles are making a strong comeback. There are plenty nesting at Plum Island and there is a resident eagle at Sandy Neck. I will bet he has a mate also. One of their favorite foods is PLOVERS. I agree that they are a majestic bird and welcome their return to the area. Another bird making a recovery is the Ospry. There is a family of Osprys on Plum Island and when they are hunting in the morning they are something to see. The wingspan is awsome.
To have a close encounter with that bird must have given you a racing stripe in your shorts.
