First Adult BALD EAGLE for my yard list and year list (have an immature from a couple summers back for the yard list so this is only the 2nd one I've ever seen from here). About 330pm, right after a stream of crows had flown over, I noticed a much bigger, flat profile bird coming from the same direction. Fortunately, had the binocs so got a great thrill to see the white head of the big Baldie coming right at me. It flew down Asbury Road direction probably about 300' high, took one more half turn, then headed off in the direction of the lake. I'm about 2.5 mi north of Pyramid Mall just off Triphammer Rd. Shortly after, a couple TURKEY VULTUREs appeared (they are quite common here) which made a nice 'big bird soaring profile' contrast.
