Bald Eagle in Lakeport on Saturday

We saw a mature bald eagle in Lakeport on Saturday. It was flying above the intersection of Elm Street and Union Street, near the dam/bridge. It was a pretty BIG bird, with full white head and tail. We pulled to the side of the road on Elm, into the entrance for the Expo Center to get out and watch it. It circled for a while, then flew south, out over Paugus Bay. It was such fun to see it. At first we thought, because of the size, it was a turkey buzzard, but the white head/tail were so distinct ... a dead giveaway!
