Bald eagle visits Greenhead Cove in Stonington
Bald eagle visits Greenhead Cove
Monday, September 1, 2009. An American Bald Eagle visited Greenhead Cove in Stonington late yesterday afternoon. The eagle was seen several days ago in a tree in the area. This afternoon it settled on a nearby ledge to enjoy the late summer sun and view the lobster boats with Isle au Haut in the background.
The eagle appeared to be drying itself after a dip in the water, probably to catch a fish, which brings to mind the following poem:
The Eagle
by Alfred, Lord TennysonHe clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
