My buddy has seen them at Long Pond in Plymouth this year while ice fishing. Any large body of h2o will attract them. P.

We have many nesting pairs around the Quabbin and my area. They are absolutely beautiful in flight. Sometimes park rangers will place deer carcassas on the ice and you can see them picking at it.

Arrow up north
in NOVA SCOTIA....they are as common as sea gulls and they are starting to expand their range southward... thats a good sign... the insecticide DDT
"used to" make all the predator birds egg shells super thin and they'd crush under the weight of the parents trying to hatch them out...

nice to know they're making a comeback...

Shortly after I moved to northern Wisconsin I hit and killed a deer with my Chevy Blazer. Two days later when I drove by the carcass, a medium-sized baldy was munching away. I understood then why Ben Franklin wanted the turkey instead of the eagle...

We had a pair overwinter on our resivoir 5 years ago.One evening around dusk i saw their two fledgelings leave the nest and land on the railroad station roof. What a sight. Will never forget it
