Photo by Claudia Cridge: “I took this photo around February time this year. It was in the woods as you enter the Fisherman’s Park and Eagle Run Loop from The Watershed Grill. At that time of the year the few bald eagles we saw were very lazy and quite happy just sitting in the trees above us. As one of the first encounters of wild bald eagles in my life, it was quite exciting!”
