On my way up the hill from Rt 96/34 I saw a bald eagle in a tree and
then another one perched above the road. The second was an immature
eagle and it took off up the road, I followed it up the road driving
somewhat slowly. It flew about 90 meters along the tree covered

Two adult Bald Eagle perched near road at 2:50 PM. On west side of road, south
of house on the east side.If still there, please do not get out of the car, or
even stop.

Many years ago,
Many years ago, in Connecticut, my father rescued a whole nest of barn swallow
babies, trying to be fledglings. The parents built a nest in his barn (lots of
them did so) and in this nest used fishing line. He watched them and when the
