We Have four nests within an hour of my house all are located on the CT. River. If you want to see some birds later this winter take a drive up to the big Q in Belchertown go to the enfield lookout usally good for a few birds depending on the weather. Oh yeah every once in a while they have a Golden eagle there as well as the Bald eagles. ThomT

They have been on Long Pond in Plymouth since at least 1988. Big animals. Go to Alaska they are like seagulls.

I'm with striperman36, that's an alaskan seagull, known to carry off unsuspecting poodles and other small wothless 4 legged pets in the middle of winter.  |
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

Did a cruise from Seattle to Alaska a few years back and loved it!!! On one of the excursion in Skagway we did a river boat ride to see some eagles. Beautiful county there!!!
Here are some pics.

We've got a few up here on the Merrimac, next time any of you are on their way up to NH or ME on 95 check near the bridge that goes over the river just after the Newburyport exit. They have been hanging out in the trees by the river for quite a few years now. Only problem is once they start frequenting an area Uncle sam has a habit of labeling anywhere they go "nesting habitat" and all of a sudden its near impossible to do anything w/ your land. I have a side job on a farm not too far from this bridge and we cannot cut any trees down w/out having an official come down and approve that what we are going to take down is not "habitat". That being said, they are definately beautiful birds. (I had to rant for a bit)

 Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

Awsome Sight
Have only seen one this past year flying over Gorden's Pond in Apponaug. Right behind the Warwick Police station.

PI guy, Chain Bridge? Or the other side? Ran over that bridge about a million times. Never saw one. Always made a point of looking out whatever side I was on. Just to see if anyone was fishing when I was at work.
Same idea, different bird.
Pretty sure I saw an osprey on Sluice pond in Lynn about two months ago.(Trout fishing; sorry)
Best I can tell it was an osprey from what info I could find.
Did not look like a golden.
Seven foot wingspan? Came in toward the pond from behind us, right over our heads. He got skunked too.

I see a Bald Eagle (no, not my brother or me) every once in a while at Coast Guard in Truro. I also sometimes see one fishing on the Ct river in western MA during the Spring. They're cool. When I was little kid, I climbed a huge pine and found an aerie. I remember I could stand on it. That is a mazing to me.
