With the mercury at a frigid 11 degrees Fahrenheit, I scraped the ice off the windshield of our Subaru this morning and drove to the Millstone River Impoundment in Princeton.
To my delight, a few minutes after I stepped out of my car I spotted three bald eagles circling overhead. Two of them were mature and one was a juvenile, and they chased each other in the sky within easy view as I crossed the footbridge that spans what I believe was once a lock on the Delaware and Raritan Canal.
I was so surprised at the sight that I fumbled with my camera, eventually swinging it up to snap several shots as the birds headed off over Lake Carnegie.
The adults then settled on the opposite side of the lake, perched in a tree. What became of the juvenile, I don’t know. 🦅

That’s a nice welcome on a cold day!
