I had seen these eagles while I was working on the Barrington Bridge.. And believe me, I was there long enough. Sorry, not my fault.

Several times I watched them and would see them in the tall trees on the East side of the river North of the bike path trestle. One day I witnessed one swoop down by the boat ramp, grabbed what I think was a duck, flew towards me then went north through a break in the trees near the back of the parking lot by the boat ramp. This was around 2004 - 2006. I estimate the wingspan was at least 5 ft. I had a couple pictures and a short video of them. Maybe they will turn up during spring cleaning.
