Subject: [MDBirding] Bald Eagle over Penn Quarter!


I had a lunch-time treat today--as I was passing the FBI building in downtown DC, I looked up and spotted an adult Bald Eagle circling overhead. I saw one once before, earlier this year, so now I usually remember to look up, but it's always exciting when one is actually there. This one wasn't low, of course, but low enough that the white head and tail would be clear to anyone who looked, so I called out to some FBI folks talking beside a car "Look up! There's a Bald Eagle!" I was glad it swung back into view so they saw it and didn't think I was joking! It sounded as if they enjoyed it, from the exclamations I heard as I went by. Made it more exciting to share it.
