Lake Winnipesaukee, as well as the rest of the "lower 48", has a growing Bald Eagle population. There have been more than these sightings since this particular thread from 2005.

(And some "Eagle-Cams").

While at the computer just Tuesday morning, I heard some "very-upset" robins—but then, they're always upset.

Then I heard crows—lots of them! Then the chipmunks started in with their deep "munk" sounds. I looked up just in time to briefly catch a glimpse of a very large bird carrying a green leafy branch as big as he was! It's nest-making month for Eagles, too.

By its color, it may have been an immature Bald Eagle or, more likely, the similar Golden Eagle, which was sighted in several locations around the Big Lake last year.

Since that sighting three days ago, he hasn't turned up again—though the crows remain in "full song" in a clearing near me. I gotta remember to "keep looking up".

Here's that Eagle carrying his fish dinner that I'd previously posted:
