Gal comes out - spent a day and a night - bingo - I got me a nesting pair
of American eagles. I received some instructions about what not to do and
what to do and when she left, she said - Oh, and you have a pair of
peregrine falcons and a pair of red tail hawks and I think a Barred Owl.

I've been told that in the CT valley, there are 12 pair of nesters, about
10 transients and in the state as a whole about the same as NJ.

Not bad for twelve years.

They must be doing something right. There are a lot more people
hereabouts, but also a lot more wildlife.



Another resurgence is wild turkey. I've got a rafter of at least 30
turkeys wandering around the area and while I've been told I misidentified
a dog (highly unlikely), I know there is a pair of bobcats in the area and
a few bears.

I haven't seen a bobcat around here, but I sure did hear one. The sound
damn near gave me nightmares.
