Happy New Year all,

I've observed this Eagle now several times since the beginning of December
2018. It's favoured location is on the east side of the Trent River between
lock 7 & 6 in Frankford just north of Trenton. The damn is keeping the
majority of the river open water so obviously good fishing habitat.
