A sub-adult Bald Eagle flew over the North End of Central Park at about 12:35 today. This was a ragged looking individual with a mostly white tail and head, though quite a few brown feathers remained on both. I first spotted it over the Reservoir as it traveled due north right down the center of the park. By the time it reached me on the Grassy Knoll it was less than 20 stories off the ground, which is pretty close for an eagle over C.P. in my experience. The eagle began it's ascent over the Wildflower Meadow, flapping languidly in large circles. It then dropped off low over the Meer where I lost sight of it. Not much else around today in general and what was seen by me has already been reported.
