I was driving down Central Ave. in White Plains about an hour ago passing Hmart when I was quite surprised to see a juvenile Bald Eagle flying in circles about 100 feet or so above the road. It was being semi-harassed by a bunch of crows. It was also seen around 10am this morning by my father in the same place. I also had what was probably the same bird on California Rd. at the intersection with Bevan Pl. next to Twin Lakes in Eastchester yesterday sitting in a tree waiting to come down to a dead rabbit in the road. In 50 years living in the area I have never seen an eagle in either area and certainly not so close. Obviously they are not as scared of people as they used to be. Pretty neat.
