The Eagle Has Landed...

Actually, it was just perched on a branch. I spotted the Haliaeetus leucocephalus as I was taking a morning walk along the D&R Canal in Frenchtown NJ. The eagle was overlooking the Delaware River, probably looking for fish, along its spring migration route. Maybe its nesting there, and I can see it again.

I tried to take some pictures with my camera phone. They did not come out well. If I were to post them, they would be inconclusive, and lumped somewhere on the beliveability scale with the JFK Zapruder Film, the Alien Autopsy, and the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film.

In the end, sure enough, it was an eagle. I walked by it twice, and even drove by it.

It did feel like I missed a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

However, I did not forget my camera on the Ricketts Glen hike. Those pictures will not disappoint.
