Today dawned with an overcast sky and the only break was in the east toward sunrise. I was able to get very close to 10 Bald Eagles that were perched in different trees waiting for the morning light. Here, one takes flight over a Delmarva salt marsh. Finding fish will be a challenge for these eagles today as much of the wetlands were frozen.
