Hi – I’d like to start a new fun thread on interesting wildlife encounters while driving. Earlier this week I was in Dresden, a small Maine river town between the state capital of Augusta and the coast, inspecting a road stream culvert. As I was climbing down the embankment I heard this flapping sound. I looked up and a bald eagle was taking off from a small tree about 30 feet away. He flew to another tree about 100 feet away and sat watching me. I continue down the embankment and heard more noise. I looked up and saw an adult and a juvenile bald eagle fly away from another tree close by and land on a tree a couple of hundred feet away. Three eagles in about 30 seconds and they were all watching me looking at the culvert! The stream was free flowing below the culvert but ponded above. I guess they were looking for fish swimming in the open water. How about that! Bob from Maine
