Subject: Bald Eagle sighting

Today at 1:00 p.m. I saw what I believe to be a Bald Eagle in Goochland County  
just west of Henrico County on  RT . 250. There is a swamp that lies just west 
of Gardners Nursery. The bird was perched in a tree about 200 yards into the 
swamp. The coloring was brown with snow white head feathers. I have seen a bald 
eagle along the James from the Annabelle Lee a couple of years ago. 
 
I first spotted the bird as I was traveling East on Rt. 250. I turned around 
and went back again. This time I drove slower. Not having binoculars and with 
not wanting to stop in the road I got the best look I could. I do believe it 
was a Bald Eagle and thought the society would like to know if someone else has 
not already said something. This may not be something new, but I have lived 
here 13 years and have never seen an Eagle on that stretch of road. Turkeys, 
yes, Buzzards, yes many times , but never an Eagle until today.
