I love spotting bald eagles; it's one of the things I miss the most about the PNW so I was very excited to find out that eagles come to nest (Jan - March) along the lower part of the CT River. I also thought how cool would it be a for Alex to use his camera. Well, it's Freak'n Freezing (with capital F's!) in Jan and CJ was gone a lot in Feb but he finally had some time the first week of March so I convinced him to take us to try to find them on our own instead of taking a tour since we only had a couple of hours before we had to be some where else. We did some research online to get a better idea of where to look; only to find out the main eagle observatory closed the week before! I thought maybe we will spot one anyway so we woke up early, packed some snacks, and off we went
We saw swans, seagulls, a chihuahua, flags and even a castle but no eagles!!!!
After an hour of driving and stopping along the river I came to grips with the fact that we were probably not going to spot any eagles. I was really bummed but we had fun and it was a gorgeous day.
By the way, Alex took all these pictures by himself.
