I sighted a large bird circling north of the 291/91 exchange in Springfield about 8:00 a.m. I expected to be our local red tail hawk but it was larger and I was surprised to see a tail flash white as it turned and as it circled back its white head. I was delighted that it was a bald eagle only my second sighting of this beautiful bird.

My son Jonah and I have seen Bald eagles twice in two weeks. The first time was in my brothers yard In coventry, ct on Root rd. The eagle was flying over head and headed northeast. The second sighting was at Mansfield hollow lake on Friday February 17th. The eagle flew over the lake as we stood at the boat launch and flew up to a branch to roost. Jonah and I walked around a bit and played with the big flat ice shards which were making noizes as the water pushed it to the shore. A few minutes later the eagle then flew around the small island and away from us and I could see his white head in the distant trees. I waited almost 30 years to see an eagle and it took me and my wife to the housatonic river in ct to the eagle winter sightings at the electric plant there. It has been 6 years since then and now in the wild on my own in less than two weeks I have spotted them twice.

My daughters and I watched 3 different bald eagles taking turns eating a large 5-6lbs largemouth bass on the ice at Wassell Res. in Southington, CT. This sighting happened on Tuesday Jan. 24th around 2 pm. we felt very lucky to see a group of eagles together like that. All three were mature birds. When I looked over on Wednesday morning there was one still there eating the scrapes of the leftover bass.

Yesterday my family and I saw a large, mature Bald Eagle sitting in a tree overlooking the Groton Reservoir in Groton, CT. This was our first sighting ever of our national bird. Beautiful!

Redding, ct; January 18 or 19, 2012, driving across the bridge at the intersection of Route 53 and Newtown Turnpike, right at the top of the Weston (Saugatuck) Reservoir, around 8 am I saw a bald eagle flying across and down the length of the reservoir. Thrilling!

January 13, 2012. VERY Large Bald Eagle in a tree top on Cottage Grove Road in Bloomfield. Took off just as I was pulling up in my car. Wingspan must have been five feet or better. I go to Alaska every summer and see them almost daily and never saw one this size.

Northern New Milford, CT - 1/13/2012: this morning I watched a Bald Eagle (and took many photos) as it flew up and down the marsh across the street from our house. This has been a very mild winter in the area and the water of the marsh is not frozen. I did not see that it found any food but it flew back and forth several times for about 30 minutes. It was magnificent to see!!

Yesterday, 2/3/2011, at 9:20AM, I saw a bald eagle (I do not know if it was male or female) scouting a cow field in Southeastern Pennsylvania in Southern Chester County. It was flying low and circling at the edge of the field in Herr's Angus Farms, Nottingham, PA on the south side of Route 272 just past Woodland Drive, which is a little over 1 1/4 miles due east of the intersection of Route 1 and Route 272. In it's circling it crossed over the road twice before I passed under it and could no longer see it, enabling me to clearly see the white head and tail. Always thrilled to see one of these!

we witnessed two large bald eagles on Amos Lake in preton CT this afternoon, they were on the ice and flying low for a few hours, an amazing sight..

Two bald eagles. In my back yard. Windsor, Ct. Jan 29th at dusk. Possibilities they were perched on my roof top. Both Flew very low and one ended up on the ground before my dog scared it away. I have an image of the wing print in the snow. We seem to be in a paired couple flight path as we have had many sightings of a pair and also an immature bald eagle - but never so low or close! We live both near the Connetcicut and the Farminton River and also adjacent to wet lands and a farm where red tail hawks also call home.

I sighted 2 bald eagles on January 21 perched in a tree. They were on the Wethersfield side of the Connecticut River in Connecticut. I was told that they come up to this area when the river's frozen because it is an area that doesn't freeze.

I was standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes this morning and saw a bald eagle fly over my apartment complex which is at the intersection of Farmington Avenue & Brickyard Road in Farmington, CT - not far from the Farmington River. Wow!
That's the second time I've seen an eagle fly over us. The last time was 2-3 yrs. ago.

Just outside of Hartford, CT. Was driving up Interstate 91 North and an Eagle flew directly over the highway, just before you get to Interstate 84. Did a double take but confirmed from the dark body, long wing span and white head/tail. Beautiful site!
Geoff Sawyer
I saw a pair of bald eagles at the Barkhamsted Reservoir north of the dam. They were just hanging out in the middle of the lake and I watched them for a solid half hour before one of them flew over to the east side of the lake. In a few moments, 4-5 smaller, brown birds joined that eagle and I can only assume these were the young. I happened to just take a ride up to the dam on a whim thinking that maybe I'd see some type of waterfowl and it only crossed my mind once while I was driving that maybe I'd hit the jackpot and actually see a bald eagle. Imagine my surprise and astonishment when I saw those beautiful white heads with my binoculars when I figured I'd see what those brown spots in the distance actually were. What beautiful, majestic birds.

I have been seeing a Bald Eagle almost every day for a about three - four weeks now. It is perched on a high tree branch overlooking the DEP Trout Hatchery Ponds on Punch Brook Road in Burlington, CT. I see him afternoons around 4:30. I finally stopped yesterday, 2-17-10, and while I was watching the one in the tree, one flew out of the woods and flew over my head. Then seconds later another one flew over. They both flew out of view, leaving the guy on the branch unfazed. Amazing Creatures!!!

In Middletown Ct, February 12, 2010 at 1:05 pm I saw a pair of bald eagles circling each other in a beautiful air dance. They were over the CT river on the south side of the river's big bend. This is the second time in a month I have seen a pair right around the same area. They were magnificant. How lucky I am to have them live in the area. WOW!!!
Christine O'Grady
My partner and I spotted a Bald Eagle on route 44 in New Hartford, Connecticut on February 6, 2010 at about 2pm. It was flying low over the Farmington River. It was the first time either of us had ever seen one in the wild!
Corry Kanzenberg
Today at shortly after 3 PM my husband and I saw an eagle swoop down the river and land in a tree adjacent to the river. It was just to the left of the parking lot (if facing the river). This was the closest sighting ever for us. We were able to get within approx. 20 feet of the tree where it had perched before it flew away heading north over the river. It was quite beautiful, had a completely white head and tail.
Cathy Luman Glastonbury, CT
my name is Mary Chappell,my boyfriend and I were at Hadam meadows state park in Hadam ct on the ct river ware we saw four eagles three young ones all brown and a adult bald eagle with white head, they were feeding on a deer that had got itself stuck in the ice of the ct river. It was very beautiful to behold.
I took a ride up to Candlewood Lake and was very surprized to see a family of Bald Eagles on 1-10-10. Two adults and a younger eagle that was not all the way mature with his coloring of White. I has seen many in CT over the years. I went to Candlewood intentionally due to all the stories I have been hearing of sightings. I notice that residents in this area of CT seem to be very wary or them. I believe many Bald Eagles now live on the Lake due to the good fishing at Candlewood. I believe one of the State BASS records is from Candlewood. Candlewood Lake "Danbury CT" residents say their are so many Eagles living on the lake now that they can't help to be aware of them when they are out on the lake in boats.
Last year in the summer August 09 we were playing Golf at Hop-Brook in Naugatuck. On the 5th hole a friend of mine hit the uphill green with a chip shot and a large male Bald Eagle swooped down and grabbed the Golf-Ball and took off. I'm sure he thought he had dinner with a mouse or something. But what a beautiful sight. I'm really glad to see they have recovered in the State. Definatly more prevalant now. Many Red-Tailed Hawks around now also.

At about 1245 today jan 08 2010 on an Osprey nest (post) off Buddington rd. beautiful sight. I watched for awhile. It was
near some open water. I assume eating. I only had a monocular. No camera with me(darn) Another motorist stopped and
was excited also. I think it got spooked as he was moving around outside the vehicles. It dropped off the nesting site(huge winspan)I have never seen a bald eagle in the wild(sic). I am an avid outdoorsman 47 year old male. I just got finished cc skiing near Lantern Hill. It made my great day ...... greater!

Granby, Connecticut Halloween 2009 sighted a mature (white head) bald
eagle in our local park during a morning soccer game and then again in
the afternoon during the afternoon game. It sat in the trees over the
brook until too many kids gather under it then took off. I am not sure
if it is going too far since I saw it in the same area in the morning
then again in the afternoon. What a magnificent bird!
Terry Heideger
My name is Kevin Cohernour and I live in Terryville, Ct. This morning a bald eagle flew over my house and landed in a tree by my pond. There were 7 ducks in the pond. He watched them for a few minutes and then flew off. As it was flying off, I stepped out on the rear deck. It flew off directly over me about 20 ft up. It took my breathe away.
My husband and I saw a bald eagle flying down the Housatonic River over the West Cornwall covered bridge on October, 18, 2009. It was raining, but we were out looking at fall foliage. We just watched in amazement as it glided by.

My son and I saw a bald eagle 9/20/09 flying over our house around 5pm in Wallingford CT. We live close to the Quinnipiac river and the Wilbur Cross Parkway. It was barely over the house, so we picked up our 5 lb dog and held her tight. Today 9/21/09 there were 5 birds flying much higher so I couldn't tell for sure if they were Eagles or not but they seemed to be too big to be anything else. I hope they are looking for a place to nest locally.

My father, my brother, and I saw two Bald Eagles driving along Route 44 in New Hartford, CT sitting on a tree branch along the Connecticut River. My father said he had never seen a Bald Eagle in the 42 years of his life, but now he saw two! My brother and I had never seen a Bald Eagle before either, so along the whole drive, we were in awe talking about the Bald Eagles.
M. George
We just sighted a Bald Eagle outside of our building here in New London, CT. It had just killed a seagull and was eating it on a rock in the water. We are still in awe as most of us have never seen a Bald Eagle let alone one on the Thames River in New London!
Lori Watson
Two workmen at my home in Ellington, CT reported seeing a Bald Eagle flying over Crystal Lake on Dec. 30th at approximately 10:00 am. One of the men was an avid outdoorsman and I fully trust his belief that it was indeed a Bald Eagle. I'll be watching the lake a bit more carefully in hopes of seeing it myself.
Chad Lariviere
Most of the time there is one but lately there have been 2 juvenile Bald Eagles in South Meriden, Ct. They are within 20 feet of a home and a auto repair shop and 50 feet from a road. This is the 2nd year that I know of them using this spot on the pond.
Ron Dionne
Bald Eagle sighting December 26, 2008 on RT 7 in Gaylordsville CT. A VERY LARGE bird with wingspan at least 10 feet (or so it seemed) taking either a live or dead animal from RT 7 in front of a speeding Ford Pickup Truck. Truck braked to avoid Eagle, our car was right behind truck, and we got a birds-eye (ha!!) view of the beautiful creature, as well as the rear of the pickup truck. It was perhaps 4 feet above the roof of our car when it flew above the truck and man what a sight.
Tim Murray
I've seen a bald eagle twice in Enfield,CT. One was on December 13, 2008 and one was on November 27, 2008. On the 27th I saw the Bald Eagle soaring over the Somers Prison/Lego area. he was very low and I could clearly identify him. On December 13th, I saw a Bald Eagle when I was driving on Brainard Road, close to Enfield Street.
I was amazed to see him the first time and delighted to see him the second time. I assume it's the same bird seeing it is only a few miles from one sighting to the other. I always look up at the sky and look very closely at any eagles or hawks that I see soaring. I'm so glad I do because so many people miss seeing these beautiful birds!
Jodi Harmon
My husband and I saw two bald eagles in Cromwell, CT @ River Highlands
State Park on the Connecticut River, Thanksgiving Weekend (Thursday)
2008. We were going on a hike and my husband gasped audibly and I looked
up and saw a vision of beauty that I don't think I will ever get over. I
was frozen and stunned. I didn't want to breathe or blink as I was afraid
that we would scare them off, but they sat in the tree for at least 5
minutes. It was so over whelming to me emotionally I cried. Both my
husband and I have never seen Bald Eagles in the wild especially as close
as we were approx. 100 ft from where they were in the Pine Tree on the
river.
Awesome.

On November 10, 2008 at approximately 7:45 AM I spotted 2 Bald Eagles flying over Route 91 in Hartford, Connecticut near the Jennings Road Exit. The Eagles were flying from West to East, toward the Connecticut River. One was flying about 200 feet behind the other. Both were flying quite low, I'd guess about 120 feet above the ground.

My husband and I were on the rooftop parking level of the garage at Mohegan Sun Casino when I spotted a very large bird over a nearby wooded area. As it came closer it flew overhead and we could make out the white head and tail and the huge black wingspan. We were shocked to realize that it was a bald eagle!

Eagle watching has become a yearly event for us since we live on a lake in Voluntown, Connecticut. I have been seeing an eagle off and on since January. In January I got a photo of two eagle feeding on the ice. Today (3/20/08) I spotted an adult eagle as well as a juvenile eagle. What a thrill to see!

My husband and I were lucky enough to see a bald eagle in flight this
afternoon around 3pm (Sunday, December 30, 2007). We were driving
slowly on a dirt road along the Housatonic River, just north of New
Milford (CT) when he came into sight, flew across the river and
landed in the top of a tree. I got a few photos, but unfortunately,
none were too great as the camera lens wasn't powerful enough to
really zoom in on him. Attached is one of the better shots.
We watched him for a while as he busily watched up and down the
river. What an incredible, beautiful experience!

Saw my first adult eagle of the year on the river today. The bird was fishing up on Lake Zoar. This should be the start of a long observation season for these magnificent birds. The birds have been in other parts of CT for the last few weeks -places like the upper CT River is always a good observation spot earlier in the month as is Candlewood Lake.

My brother and I saw our first bald eagle today! I have never seen
anything like it. I saw it first as we were driving north to Sharon
CT. It came out of the woods from about 30 feet or higher and
swooped down into a small opening about 50 feet from the road. It
had just snowed the night before, and to see this huge bird coming
out of those woods in a slight fog was absolutely awe inspiring! I
haven't stopped talking about it all day.

While doing leaves with my wife and kids I looked-up over my property and noticed a very large bird flying from right to left across my field of view, just above tree-line (approx. 75 feet above our heads). At first I thought that I must be a red-tailed hawk. Then I noticed its head—pure white, and its size. I was looking at the bird in profile. It was enormous (bigger than any red-tailed hawk could ever hope to be!) and as it flew past us and we watched it fly away, its wing-span had to be at least 10 feet. We live in Yalesville, Connecticut (Wallingford), where Cheshire (about 1 mile from the reservoir and near a farm) meets Wallingford and South Meriden. I still am in awe of that magnificent creature! I hope we see her again.

My wife and I were leaving the Madison Avenue exit of the Westfield Mall in Trumbull, CT and saw our first bald eagle about 100 feet in the air. My wife Terri spotted it first and pointed it out to me. At first I thought it was a hawk, but as it circled toward us there was no doubt. Magnificent!
Joe Delia
At 4:45 on October 18, I was driving down RT8 south between Torrington and Bristol when I noticed a very large bird flying towards me. At first I thought it was a Great Blue Herron but it was so large I thought it had to be a Turkey Buzzard, however she kept coming in my direction and swooped about 20 feet above my car!! As she went over me I noticed how white her head was and that her wing span was about the same width as my car! I knew right away that it was a Bald Eagle. It was an experience I will NEVER forget!!!
Priscilla Heard
I am uncomfortable saying this, but I believe I saw a bald eagle in Waterbury, CT at 4:55 pm on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 as I was travelling east on Country Club Road as I was turning into the parking lot to the Chase Collegiate School. (CC Road parallels I-84). The whilte head was obvious. And, I have seen bald eagles at Lake Warmoug and on the Naugatuck River in CT, which aren't that far away. However, I really find the siting of this particular location hard to believe and wonder if anyone else saw one in the area.
Anne Briglia
Yesterday, 2/23/07, my daughter and I spotted 2 Bald Eagles perched high in tree twice, once at noontime and again around 3pm.
Location: Clayton Road, Canaan, CT in the trees above the Konkapot River. We had our binoculars to confirm and watch these magnificent birds from the roadway before they flew off.
Wow!! What a thrill.

On Feb 11 I spoted two bald eagles in Stratford, Connecticut. They were
perched up in a tree on the shore of the Housitonic River which goes
out to Long Island Sound. I have lived in this area for my whole life
and have never seen these birds around here. I was gladly suprised
when I saw them. I went back to my house and grabbed my camera. They
were much bigger than any other type of hawk that I have ever seen.

Waterside Crossing
Windsor, CT
A Bald Eagle has visited a small pond here at the Waterside Crossing office complex. On Tuesday morning Feb 6 he came in from the South and headed off North / North East. That visit, he perched in the tallest tree on the West side of the pond for a few minutes before leaving.
Today, Feb 8 around 10am, he flew in from the Northeast back to the same tree he had previously perched. After about 10 minutes of harrassment by some crows the Eagle took off and circled gaining altitude for another 4 or 5 minutes before moving out of our view. He was progressing toward the south. We were very lucky as when he took off he flew parallel to our 3rd story office within 20 ft. of our windows. It was an amazing sight to see this majestic bird so close up and in flight. I hope he visits often.

On 3/11/06 & 3/12/06 a Bald eagle was flying around the lake I live on. I took pictures of it in flight. I saw an eagle on 11/12/04 on my water front property and I was on channel 8 news. It was so beautiful to see it soaring around the lake. It was an adult eagle. Nature is so important to me! I look forward to seeing it again. It was great to see a Bald Eagle from my water front home! Courtesy of Janice Roberts Plymouth, Connecticut
Friday, March 10 at about 8:45 am, I had just passed the Glastonbury exit heading north on 91. I could see a bird in the sky and was amazed at its size. As I wondered what it was, it turned and I could see its white head. Thinking for a moment that it was a seagull, I soon realized what I was looking at, a true beauty. I was absolutely amazed and as tears came to my eyes, I looked over towards the CT river and saw another in the distance. Never did I think I would see one of these magnificent creatures in the wild. I travel that highway often and hope to see them again but if I never do, I will still consider myself extremely fortunate for this experience. Courtesy of Tammy Anderson
The first week of February on my way to work at aproximately 7:00 a.m. on Route 34 in Derby/Seymour Connecticut, as it winds along the Housatonic River. It was perched on a thick tree branch looking out over the river. It was unmistakeable -- large white head, clearly defined from the deep brown back, a much thicker bird than the ospreys we occasionally see on the river. I slowed almost to a stop to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. I have passed by several more times and did not see the bird, but I enjoyed the one sighting I did have. Courtesy of Eric Stockman, Monroe, CT.
Yes, they do exist in Meriden Ct. On Feb.16 at 5pm coming home from wall.on south main street I saw the eagle with my own two eyes. Oh, what a sight, as he swooped down just enough for me to get a good view of his majesty. Courtesy of Lee Seraphim
I was out in the yard today (2/11/2006) and saw three Bald Eagles perched in the trees in my neighbors yard in Danbury, CT. I did not expect to ever see Bald Eagles in Connecticut, especially in crowded Fairfield County. It was quite interesting to see the Blue Jay's swooping down almost attacking them.

Today I saw my first Bald Eagle flying over the Farmington River in Farmington Connecticut. I immediately came in to the PC to verify they are in this area and was pleasantly surprised that they are. I hope to see this magnificent animal again soon. Courtesy of David Burns
Wife, Nancy and I recently returned from an Alaska cruise with many Bald Eagle sightings. Today 8/19/05, Grandson Nate Kennedy and I were walking on the "papermill bike trail" in Windsor, CT, binoculars in hand, with the purpose of seeing a Bald Eagle along the Connecticut River. I learned to look for the "white spot" in the trees while in Alaska. We were fortunate to see one. We plan to return when the leaves have fallen allowing much better visibility and then again during the winter months. I too spotted my first Bald Eagle in flight over the Housatonic River at Sikorsky Aircraft.

My son and I were crossing the Sikorsky Bridge driving northbound. We were halfway across it when a Bald Eagle flew in front of us flying towards the Sikorsky building. I was shocked saying to myself is it what I think it is. I excitedly told my son look out the window! It's a Bald Eagle! I always thought I would have to wait to see one in Alaska. We found out the CT River Eagle festival was on so we went. We saw another one in a tree through some binoculars that were set up and then we saw it fly across the river. Both sightings were so exciting. It was the best thing I ever saw! Courtesy of Amena Pabon-Bridgeport,CT.

On November 12, 2004 an adult Bald Eagle landed in front of my water front property. I took over 30 pictures of him. It was the most magnificent sight I have ever seen in my life. I contacted news channel 8 and they came and did an interview and looked at the photo's I took. I was on channel 8 news on November 16, 2004 at about 6:15 P.M. I live in Plymouth Connecticut and I never expected to look out my window and see a Bald Eagle.
