Yes, we've heard they were in the area, but that's the first Bald Eagle I've seen around here in the 18 years I've been here.
A friend who lives about 5 miles north of here said he saw one swoop down and pick up a Mallard Duck out of a pond as he was driving by.
Many years ago I saw one way up north of here coming back from Uitca.
Then Last year, standing on the north wall at Fort Ticonderoga we saw one take off from a near-by tree at our eye level and glide off east toward the river.
Last Summer while out Woodchuck spotting, we were talking with a farmer on the west side of town. He said he has a Brown Eagle that sits out on his fence posts waiting for one of the many Woodchucks his place has.
With the increase in critters last year, I'm sure we'll be seeing more Bald Eagles.
Amazing to watch them.
Paul.
