Eagles

[AC2717]

a very large male eagle took up residence near the Channel and patrols Paugus Bay, the channel and the weirs area, I am sure a larger area. He has a perch on the last pine when leaving the channel into the larger part of the lake, almost blends right in.

yesterday he was circling the no wake can on the Bay side of the channel and swooped down and grabbed a fish not more than 30-40 feet from us. From those that have saw him since end of winter there, they say he is not afraid of boats, and I would say he wasn't considering how busy it was when he dropped into the lake.

Enjoy but hide the small dogs, and babies if you see him

If you're speculating that it's a male because it appears to be "very large" you need to know that male Eagles like all other raptors are on average roughly 30% smaller than their female counterparts. I often see an adult Bald Eagle along Weirs Blvd and it is a female.

This is the one I am referring to and I spotted her atop a scrub pine on Weirs Blvd last year.
