I know in the summer that bald eagles are
redistributing. From what I understand some come
northward after breeding takes place in Florida.That
is a pretty cool sighting way up there, that far from
Jordan Lake. I once in March saw an adult fly over
Chapel Hill.I am sorry I missed that bird for my
survey in Orange Co.!That is real near our count area.
There are a few that nested on Falls Lake in late
winter early spring.
