[Ontbirds]Bald Eagle in Thorold

[Jean and Bob]

Hello All,

Today, thanks from my dad's tip, Jean and I observed a Bald Eagle in Thorold 
at 2:15 PM.  We found it in the same area we observed one (same bird?) last 
year.  It was seen soaring over Lake Gibson in the area between Beaverdams 
Rd., Decew Rd. & the 406.   We observed only for a few minutes as it is very 
cold today.  After soaring over the water for a few minutes, it flew in to 
the trees on the south-west side of the lake.  We lost view of it at that 
point.  It was easily and safely observed from the old railway line running 
parallel with Beaverdams Road.
