I live in Richmond so I'm fortunate enough to see bald eagles on a pretty regular basis. I'm good friends with a James River catfish guide, Mike Ostrander, who does lots of eagle watching trips. Second largest city limit population of eagles in the country!
We've got eagles and wood storks in the woods across the marsh in my backyard. Great fun watching them. However the "powers that be" seem to think completing 526 through it is more important.
