Just to confirm what Maddog said, I've seen eagles along the Merrimack even as far south in Lowell. There was one fairly large eagle that was flying over my neighborhood (about a half mile from the river) and I watched him just float down to the river then follow it upstream. Quite a sight!
You should have seen my dog duck for cover when the eagle let out a scream (that's what got our attention to begin with) The dog thought she was about to die
