Eagle
Sightings Highlights: 3/9/09 The Ice is starting to open on South Bay, Lake Champlain. Today at 5:30 p.m. Two Bald Eagles: 1 adult and one immature Bald Eagle were on the ice just beyond the open water about 150 yards from the Bridge. I think the adult was helping the immature eagle find some fish, and 2 crows sat by watching and waiting for their share. Whitehall, NY 03/04/09 We were amazed at how many there were. First sighting we saw about 20 as we moved up the road we saw some flying so we turned up the county road toward the eagles that were flying. Soon we saw a small group of trees with at least 65 bald eagles of varying ages some in full white head and tail and other variations of age markings. We sat for some time looking as we do not expect to see anything like this again. Before we left the area we counted conservatively 121 adult birds. We know we did not see them all as they can sit in a tree and not be seen from certain angles. Burwell, NE |
