Fledgling Eagle in West Gloucester

Posted on by Pat D

I was finally able to capture one of the fledgling eagles we have in the area. The picture and video quality are not great due to the conditions but it was a joy to find the young eagle calling out along the river. One of the parents was in a nearby tree. As I was watching in wonderment, the young eagle lifted off with a great deal of power and strength. I could hear the wings beating and that sound has stuck with me. Watch the video with the sound on especially if you’ve never heard an eagle before. The helpful Merlin app also detected an osprey nearby!

Beach weekend

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

So lucky and blessed to be able to walk to a beach and enjoy.   If you look at the photo with the float, there is a woman, whom by the way is a very funny person, she is blowing up the float.  She told me it takes her almost an hour.  Love the beach.
