Bald Eagles Taking Over Collinsville

Okay, so maybe they're not "taking over", but there is surely a large influx in the bald eagles taking up winter homes here along the river. 

Just this morning coming back from some early morning skiing, there were 5 different eagles all with in about a half mile from each other. From the dam here in the center of Collinsville, up river to the town bridge. 

We do have an eagle or two that has taken up residency along this section of the Farmington River but the influx that has taken place is getting pretty close to remarkable. 

Every day for the past week it's been VERY easy to come across at least one Bald Eagle every morning. This morning was almost crazy. Maybe the influx is due to the polar vortex that rolled across the country. Or maybe they just know a good thing when they see it and won't be leaving Collinsville any time soon.
