While driving on Route 11 on Tues about mid afternoon, as I was going around the curve eastbound by the Belknap Motel, heading towards Alton, I saw a large bird crossing above the road. It was just a quick glance out the windshield, but looking out the driver side window, it clearly was a bald eagle, the first I've seen in several years. As I scrambled to get my phone out, hit the camera button, find the eagle in screen and then take a picture, I ended up driving up through the woods to Kimball's Castle
. Only kidding on the last part. I do wish I had been down at Lincoln Park on Lakeshore drive with my camera at the ready, right there on the point, because someone there with camera in hand could have got one heck of a shot. The eagle was probably not over 20 yards over the tops of the trees, and appeared to be heading to the lake. Great sight.
