Bucket List Item, check.

DK’s first photo of a Bald Eagle. 10:50 am. April 30 2024. Stamford, CT. With tremendous gratitude to Susan and Wally, who spotted the magnificent creature and asked it to hold position until I could drive to meet them. More pictures of the eagle here.

723 consecutive (almost) days. Like in a row. And the Eagle has landed.

Daybreak walk at Cove Island Park.  723 consecutive (almost) days. Like in a row.  And the Bald Eagle has landed.  Picture quality: Blah. No zoom lens. But we’ll take it!

First live spotting in my lifetime. 6:16 am. 40° F, feels like 31° F.  Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT. April 28, 2022.  (Backstory: Walking. When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.)
