Thought I'd mention : 2 recent sightings of bald eagles- both in Washington Twp. section of Gloucester County. Most recent was this morning-about 10:00 AM. (Was watching some sea gulls and trying to recall if they signified a coastal low - then big old bald eagle sailed over- about 200' up-headed generally southwest.)

Previous sighting was in December-same location. The eagle appeared to be "shadowing" a flock of geese.
