Pair of Bald Eagles Spotted on the Shoreline of Hills Point Road
A pair of bald eagles could be seen today from Hills Point Road as they sat perched on rocks along the shoreline. The spotting joins a growing number of encounters that locals have had with the species, which can be seen throughout the Old Mill and Sherwood Island communities. The two flew off after nearly one half hour, flying in the direction of Old Mill and the treeline of Sherwood Island.
