Re: bald eagle in Orange County NC



Hello,

Bald eagles are not that uncommon around Jordan Lake. I just saw one last weekend, and have seen probably 6 so far this summer (not necessarily 6 different ones, but have had 6 ocassions when I have seen bald eagles so far this summer). Maybe he/she was just scouting out the area?

Hi folks,

A friend of mine who lives in Efland (NC - near Mebane/Hillsborough) saw a
Bald Eagle yesterday perched in a tree on Borland Road.  This is pretty
unusual, no?  Looking at my field guides, they are supposed to be rare in
the Piedmont, especially in the Summer.   Thought you all might be
interested.  My friend said if she saw it again, she'd take a picture.  She
saw it pretty close up and there's not much out there that could be mistaken
for this bird, is there?

Was it just passing through?  Or is it possible it has a home nearby?
What's the current Bald Eagle population?
