As our backyard wetland expanded it flooded the trees leaving them bare. That’s a good thing for woodpeckers, wood ducks, tree swallows and this young bald eagle surveying the marsh for fish or other food. We also get osprey in summer, adult bald eagles from two miles away at Mooseheart, plus many herons, egrets, cormorants and even hooded mergansers. It’s always a fine day to look behind your home and see an eagle!
