re: #287 lawhawk

I’ve seen bald eagles around Northern NJ on occasion. A couple of times, while on the train going through the Meadowlands, and once getting harassed by a bunch of ravens flying near a power plant off the Turnpike near Overpeck Park (where bald eagles have been known to roost).

I saw one just last week up near Waldwick NJ on Route 17 perched in a tree.

It’s become a lot more common. And I totally welcome it.

I used to see a golden eagle around Yucaipa, California when I was a kid. Huge bird. It landed on top of a fir tree and bent the whole top down.

Also, we had a clutch of baby hawks in the park by our place in Greensboro and they were adorable. After they got their flight feathers, they followed us around from tree to tree when we went walking and would land where ever we stopped and look to see if we had snacks. One took over the roof of my van and dared me to get in one morning.
