Eagles

This morning we went to the Shepaug Dam to the eagle observation area. They are open from the end of December through March, and families are allowed one appointment per year to go see the eagles. I should have checked the weather first. We lasted longer than I expected, and we saw two different male eagles. We actually did see one of them fly out of the tree he was perched in and get some breakfast. We didn't see the catch, but by the time he landed, we were watching him eating something through the scopes. My camera isn't quite powerful enough for this, but maybe you can see him in the middle of the top picture. We'll have to do it next year. Apparently they like being there in the cold because the operation of the dam keeps the water from freezing and the fish are still moving around.
