Bald Eagle In Komoka Park
by Drew and Ashley
(London, Ontario, Canada)
I was sitting by the Thames River with my girlfriend on September 6, 2012 and we suddenly spotted a graceful Bald Eagle soaring directly overhead. It was unmistakable!
What a beautiful creature, and what a wingspan!
It seemed to effortlessly float about in circles, as I desperately employed my loon call in a futile attempt to lure it closer to us so we could get a better look.
First time either one of us had ever seen one in the wild!
What an experience!
Thanks for sharing this - I too, have seen Bald Eagles on the banks of the Thames River near Komoka. We saw ours on Old River Road, just off Glendon Drive (Oxford Street West) - it was soaring around and then landed in a large tree.
