Went for a walk down the river park trail just after a light dusting of snow. It was a beautiful, warm day; just right for a walk. Didn't see another person until just before the trail divides to go down to the river bank when we met a woman walking toward us. We greeted each other and she remarked how she had just scared off a Bald Eagle unknowingly. She said she saw it fly off from where it had been eating a fish. She went down to where the fish was and there was fresh blood there also. Lily and I were headed down that path anyway and we went and checked it out. No eag;e to be seen but there out about 10 feet on the ice was the fish and red blood. Looked around hoping to see the bird but no luck. Have never seen a Bald Eagle around here but now have to keep an "eagle-eye" out for one. Have seen many other kinds of eagles, hawks, pleiated woodpeckers etc though.
