Bald Eagle in CNY!

For the past few weeks, we've been hearing about bald eagle sightings around Carousel Mall. Since we had a free weekend,(Amanda was in Pittsburgh for a winter guard competition), Tim and I decided to go and see if we could see one. We left for the mall around 4:00 on Saturday afternoon. Even though we did see 4 bald eagles, the traffic at the mall at that time was crazy. We were never able to get close enough for a good picture. We decided to go home and return the next morning before the mall opened, hoping to get a better chance at seeing one up closer. We set off for the mall around 10:30 Sunday morning (we even talked Angela into going with us, even though she thought it was pretty lame). The traffic at the mall was much lighter, but after waiting for around 45 minutes, we did not see one eagle. We then decided to head for home, a little disappointed. After a stop at Dunkin Donuts, to get Angela her promised hot chocolate, as we were heading up Morgan Road, there by the side of the road high up in a tree was a Bald Eagle! We stopped and watched it for around 10 minutes until it finally flew away. We were so surprised to see a bald eagle less than a mile from our house. What an amazing sight!
