WNPR: A dam fine spot for bald eagles: Birders flock to a CT river for a glimpse of majestic bird

There’s a feeling of anticipation and childlike wonder as birders gather at the base of a dam in western Connecticut.

Dozens of eyes pierce through rows of evergreens and sycamores, scanning the gray sky.

Suddenly, a pop of brilliant white blazes in the distance.

The star of the show is here. A bald eagle soars into view.

“Great shot!” Lucy Walker exclaims. “We have a bald eagle flying up and over the dam.”
