Later on Friday while heading over the Parker St. (Rt.114) bridge in a southerly direction, and while looking to the east over my left shoulder, a large bird in flight comes into view. Sure enough, an adult Bald Eagle heading west. turned around facing north, still on the bridge, the eagle loops twice above the bridge area and then glides to a landing on a tree near Pemberton Park on the north side of the river, west of the bridge. Make my way by car to rear of nearby building and remain in the car watching eagle for 15 minutes. Fascinating to be so close! On the far side of the tree, something caused the eagle to depart over the river westbound. It then looped and headed eastbound, and then westbound one more time before heading to a perch by the dam. A nice opportunity for some cloudy day photos!

A most exciting moment watching an adult bald eagle perched in the regular tree perch along the Merrimack River in Lawrence, MA. The sunlight was stunning and the temps warming up! Great looks a this adult, followed by a short flight away and then an unexpected return back to the perch! Handful of photos posted: http://www.pbase.com/birdshots/image/154085707

An overcast morning with winds out of West at 12 mph. Temps just above freezing creating some light ground along the Merrimack River banks. While on lookout for eagles, noticed a some type of disturbance down river that caused over 30 gulls to wheel up in a cloud of circling flight. Sure enough, an adult eagle heads west up river and lands on a perch. Leg bands visible but not clear enough o decipher digits on the bands.
