Keep your eyes open. A pair of bald eagles spent the morning on Frying Pan Pond eating carrion on the ice. There is no mistaking them -- they seem to be as big as Great Blue Herons when in flight. The (blurry) photo was taken 30 January 2010.

Thanks for the tip P.V.
Very interesting news, and a cool photo too.
I would imagine that these Eagles need a lot of protein to remain interested in the area. I wonder if they compete, or co-habit with Osprey and Herron?
Please keep us posted.

I haven't seen osprey yet this winter but there was a great blue heron in Frying Pan Pond this week along with an immature bald eagle. I am sure eagles and herons coexist fine, as they eat very different things. But between the two of them, they sure take up a lot of air space (80" wingspan for an eagle, 72" for a GB heron). When either are flying around, you can't miss them!
