John Wyatt and I watched the 2nd year (1.5 yr-old) Golden Eagle circle
over Shawmut dam and the Flood Farm along River Rd today about 2 pm
(after spending about 2 hours looking). We last saw the bird dropping
low along the river across from and a bit upriver from the farm. The
best ID character from any distance appears to be shear terror. John
and I were one mile away from Shawmut dam at the eastern end of Wyman
Road when we saw a huge and rapid exodus of gulls from the river. We
relocated to River Road and once again saw a mass of gulls and crows
swirling up from the area of the dam. There high above the river was
the eagle. Leon Mooney put it best, it's like the citizens of Tokyo
fleeing Godzilla. Look for that, and you should find the bird.
