I don’t have my notes in front of me but this area of the Christmas Bird Count
tallied over 50 Bald Eagles.

Despite much of the Potomac River and Belmont Bay being frozen in
Fairfaxand Prince William counties, I counted 12 adult and juvenile eagles on
the ice 1/7/18 on Belmont Bay between Mason Neck State Park and OccoquanBay
National Wildlife Refuge. (I also saw two mute (?) swans.) It's a great
time to visit OBNWR before the eagles return to their nest on the Charlie
Road trail because that's when Fish & Wildlife closes that trail. I was told
that due to cutbacks, they will NOT mow a trail this year to detour around
that closure.My private pix (temporarily) here:
