Hi Tweeters:

About 10 am today I saw a Bald Eagle on Ruston Way, literally. It was on the double center line and as we approached at about 60 yards it flew off. The first thing I saw then was the huge, black, wings, and then as we neared the spot it had been it was flying the opposite direction and I got a broadside of the white head as it flew behind the law offices just west of the Lobster Shop. That's in an area where I have seen many of them, before the railroad took down all the trees alongside Ruston Way about three years ago. The little clump of leaves where the Eagle had been didn't appear to have a road kill in it, and I didn't see anything in the Eagle's talons as it flew, so don't know what prompted it to be at that spot. Also saw a Belted Kingfisher which flew over the Silver Cloud Hotel as I was walking past it.
