Does anyone have information on bald eagles nesting near Bridgetown MD (DeLorme MD/DE page 51 @ B4)? Last Wednesday morning (about 8 am), while en route to Delaware (alone) I spotted a soaring bird, very broad winged with a steady glide and it appared to have some white in the head. Unfortunately, I had an 18-wheeler bearing down on me and by the time I was able to pull off and turn around, I lost track of the bird. I hung around for 15 minutes hoping it would reappear. It seemed bigger than a black vulture. Birding while driving certainly has its challenges. I am curious if bald eagles have been reported in the area. It was flying over Mason Branch which passes just west of Bridgetown by an old brick church. Of course, wintering bald eagles may also be in the area and Tuckahoe S.P. isn't far away. Happy Birding....
