Talk about Eagles, here is a little story from a guys kayak trip from Oneonta south past Otego to Well's Bridge

We spotted our first Bald eagle about 40 minutes after setting off from Oneonta. From then on we saw several. at least three or four different ones before reaching Wells Bridge. Most of them would fly off to a tree further down streem as we approached, but this one let us get close (within about 50 yards). It appears that this one was feeding on a dead fish or some other carrion. I know it did not kill it as I saw it land and then just walk over to it.
