*July 16, 2010*: Between 10-11:30 am, 17 Bald Eagles were seen along the
shoreline between Tappahannock and Leedstown. The number of adults was 13,
with birds of the year at 4. The group, Tuesday Twitters, were aboard the
boat, Capt. Thomas along with other visitors.
*January 1978*: Norm Jaffee, another grad student at W&M, and I searched for
Bald Eagles by road all day during the Bald Eagle Midwinter Count. We roamed
through the bitter cold from Williamsburg to the Northern Neck. At the end
of the day, we finally found 2 adult Eagles feeding off the remains of a
merganser on the southern shore of the Potomac River. We were estatic at
finding the birds!
Time gives one a certain perspective...
