I was thinking of posting a bald eagle sighting myself. Nearly 45 years since my first sighting of a wild bald eagle, I was just a kid then. Both occurred in my hometown of Coventry, RI. So cool and so unmistakable. It was circling less than a hundred yards up. I could clearly see the white head and tail feathers. Such a majestic sight and so fitting on veterans days. Made my day.

Pretty cool birds... since their resurgence they make the Merrimack river their winter home...not uncommon to see a half dozen juvenile or lone mature adult riding the ice flows down the river...or perched in a giant tree watching the land scape.
Most of the major lakes in New Hampshire have at least one breeding pair.. I fish Lake Wentworth all winter up there... the Eagles watch the fisherman and will "steal" fish that are unattended to when they make their rounds... when I see them watching I leave them pickerel.. which seems to be one of their favorites... last February during the rotary derby one cost me a first place finish in the pickerel division with a theft while I was picking up for the weigh in... one swooped down and snatched the still kicking fish I estimated @ 5+ lbs since the one I weighed in was 4.75 and considerably thinner and about 1# shorter...the winner was 4.79....the fish cost me $250 ( I got $250.. winner got $500) .. small price to pay for such a regal bird and the enjoyment I get from watching them on those slow cold days in mid winter...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Eagle
Yup. Nest on Rte 1 in Wakefield, RI.
Used to see them circling around the Country Club of Greenfield which is near the Ct. River years ago. Saw one in Milton, Ma last winter while traveling north and one in Brunswick, Me on the same trip.

Bald Eagle Sighting
Saw one this morning around 8:30 flying over intersection of Hammond and School Streets in Waltham as I was stopped at lights. Very impressive!

Someone mentioned it was an Osprey nest at the sharp turn in Narragansett. Have been by a few or times and haven't seen it. Maybe it was resting...
