Just before I crossed the border into Vermont this morning I saw a large dark bird fly up from a field next to the road - figured it was a turkey vulture at first (which makes no sense - I never see them around here in the winter, I suspect they migrate south) but then it banked and gave me a clear view of its bright white tail - definitely a bald eagle.
Unfortunately it was far enough away that I would have needed my good camera to get a decent shot, and I left that home today... but here's a photo from Conesus Inlet last March which is similar to what I was able to see before I was too far down the road.
