Bald Eagle

January 27, 2012 in Nearby Landbirds

During a morning visit to scan the Merrimack River, observed this Bald Eagle cruising towards the west on the north side of the river.  It landed in a stand of trees and then flew around and up the opening above where the Spicket River spills into the Merrimack.  It was a cold dark morning, but the majesty of watching this Eagle made for a terrific start to the morning!
