As we were travelling on highway 17 yesterday (july 24th), my wife and I could
observe a juvenile bald eagle between the ditch and the road. For sure that
bird was not able of an extended flight. Maybe it hatched in the woods between
the Ottawa river and the road.
The bird was exactly 39.7km from the south end of Mattawa, going south east.
