PHOTOS: ‘Very Uncommon’ Bald Eagle Sighting in New Canaan
A bald eagle—national bird and symbol of the United States—appeared high up in a tree overlooking South Avenue across from the New Canaan YMCA last week. The sighting of the bird of prey, at about 9 a.m. on Thursday morning, is “very uncommon,” according to Officer Sean Godejohn, head of the New Canaan Police Department’s Animal Control section. “New Canaan lacks large rivers and reservoirs like the Housatonic,” Godejohn told NewCanaanite.com when asked about the bird.
