Our Local Eagle

Several days ago I noted seeing a low-flying Bald Eagle just a few blocks away. This morning, Sally spotted it flying up river. A few hours later, returning from an outing, I saw it perched just across from the little pocket park a few hundred yards from us. I parked the car, walked over to the river bank, and was back in the car in minutes.

With the light snow, this looks just like a photo I took last year.

A recommendation to “de-list,” announced this week by Audubon Vermont and the Department of Fish and Wildlife, states that the Bald Eagle is no longer threatened, and its populations have stabilized. In a time of tough news, it’s nice to hear about a 30-year success story. We hope this guy/gal sticks around this winter.
