Bald Eagle over Bear Island

Greene's Basin Girl · 09-10-2015, 11:37 AM

An eagle tried to grab an adult loon in Green's Basin last Saturday. Fortunately The eagle failed to get the loon. Since then we have noticed that one adult loon will stay very far away from the other adult and the two chicks when they are feeding. We think when the loon stays by him/herself it is acting as a decoy in case an eagle tries to grab one of them.

Son watched one last month swoop down out of a tree near the Suissevale beach and bag himself a fish.

We have been watching a pair hanging around the middle of Winnisquam the past few weeks. One of them showed off for our company by catching a fish in front of the house.
