Bald Eagle
The past two mornings I've seen a bald eagle in the trees across the river. It's a big male and it looks just like a bald eagle is supposed to look: big dark brown body, a brilliant white head and white tail feathers. Through binoculars I saw its bright yellow talons and beak.
The first time I saw it spiral around looking for something to land on. It carried a long stick in its talons and finally alighted in a tall tree. It must take some trial and error to get a nesting platform built. If he's any good at it, perhaps a Mrs. Bald Eagle will feel inclined to set up house. That would be exciting!

| The fellow is just too far away to see details with the naked eye. After about 20 minutes of perching here, it rotated slightly forward, had a poop and swooped off upriver. 2/17/16 |
