The eagle is landing…

Charles Hamm, fine arts teacher at Belfast Area High School, snapped this photo recently and sent it in to VillageSoup. He explains, “The eagles are putting on a great show on Lake Quantabacook. I took this photo this morning [Jan. 17]. It’s an immature eagle that I recognize from last year. He has more white, now that he’s getting a little older. I believe it’s a male due to his smaller stature compared to a couple of the other eagles I often observe.” Lake Quantabacook is located primarily in Searsmont, with a small portion in Morrill. It stretches from just below Route 3 in the north toward Route 131 in the south.
