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.
