Haliaeetus leucocephalus
An uncommon sight to this area a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) stands eating its meal, a Canadian Goose (Branta canadensis), on the ice of Sterling Pond. Local known as "Whacky Pond"
Bald Eagles can range from Alaska and Canada to Northern Mexico.
This photo was taken by me, Necolasa Espeleta, on February 28, 2010. It was taken with a point-and-shoot kodak camera zoomed in all the way which accounts for the quality. The eagle caused quite a buzz with locals who spotted it. It hung around the area for over an hour before it disappeared. I have lived in the area my whole life (20 years) and this is the first time I've seen a or heard of a wild Bald Eagle in the area.
