Following the "blizzard" of Dec. 27, 2012, we decided to check out the
boathouse. As we entered the parking lot, Gina noticed a huge bird
in a tree top. I happened to have my camera with me so I hoped I'd
be able to get a few pictures. I had a feeling I'd probably spook
the bird when I stopped - and I did. But I got lucky.
That's the Land Lighthouse (at the foot of Hess Avenue) on the left &
the bird in the tree on the right.
Here's a closer look at the bird.
And yet another, zoomed in even more.
Sure enough, it spooked pretty quicky.
Naturally, the camera wasn't set to take a rapid series of pics.
But I did get these two that were worth saving.
This was the 6th eagle we saw "in the wild" in 2012!
