Continuing to share my visit to Eastern Neck NWR the morning of February 1st, quite exciting was the number of Eagles everywhere.  At one time, I saw seven Eagles in the sky, and I had just pulled away from one in a tree.  Amazing!

Our Chesapeake Bay area has a permanent Bald Eagle population year-round with Eastern Neck NWR hosting approximately a dozen.  During the winter, our region also hosts transient Bald Eagles from all along the Atlantic coast, so it is quite easy to see them any day right now while riding or walking around the refuge.

So that I could get a post up today with Eagles as promised, I’ll be back with another post of more Eagles from that morning at Eastern Neck NWR.

I don’t think anyone will complain with two posts in a row, overloaded with Eagle photos.  😉
