Easter Eagles 3/23/08

[Kevin Judy and Emma]

Sorry for the late notice. If anyone is in southern NH and would like the opportunity to possibly see an eagle, Judy, Emma and I would like to open our home to you. We are seeing them daily from the comfort of our living room here on Powow River in Kingston, NH. Today there were 5 all at once.

Of course, we cannot guarantee a sighting, but it will be good company, good conversation and a chance to meet some other hikers. There are many other birds on and around the pond to look at, as well. There are currently some large "rafts" of Ring-Neck Ducks, Bufffleheads, Hooded Mergansers and other transients, possibly some Loons also.

When: Anytime after 9am is good, probably ending mid afternoon.

What should I bring?: Binoculars, favorite libation. If anyone has a spotting scope, that would be excellent. We plan on having a large ham, and rolls to make sandwiches and a couple of types of salad. If you wish to bring food that is fine. Please advise what you will bring so we can plan.

Where: PM me and tell me where you're coming from. I will send directions.

Please PM so we know how many to expect. I know, its Easter, but if you can come by for a few hours, that would be great. Dog's are welcome, but please bring a leash so they don't wander onto the ice. Kid's are welcome too. Leashes optional.

Kevin, Judy and Emma

Thanks for the offer. I knew I couldn't hike yesterday, so I didn't check Views. My loss. Hope you got to see some of the eagles yesterday.

You're lucky to see such a thing from home, and very generous to present the offer. I would have taken you up on it if I didn't live 6 hours away.

Any good pictures of the eagles, loons or other birds?

I took KJE up on his offer on Friday...as he lives about 3 miles from where I work! It didn't disappoint. 2, possibly 3 eagle sitings, one immature. One landed on the ice and started picking away at something. Lots of other birds, and fine company to boot.

I missed the easter scene, as I was moving out of my olde place all day, but I heard good reports!

Thanks again for your offer and hospitality!
