Im pretty sure i saw a pair of them flying down the lake last year when i was on the Colchester causeway. At first i thought they were some osprey but as they got closer i could see they were much much larger then osprey and for sure were not bald eagles.

I have a couple pics but from a distance and its hard to really tell even if you zoom right in.

Your bird here is showing more white in the wing and underneath than a golden eagle does. It does look good for an osprey though, and they have almost the same wingspan (5ft, vs 6 for an eagle) - very large birds themselves. Golden Eagles trend to travel solo too, tho there are exceptions.

Saw a bald eagle in January of 2021 off the side of Law Island.

Yeah i see bald eagles fairly regularly In the Colchester/Burlington area the last few years. Must be a nest somewhere in the area.

Got this picture on north avenue a couple years ago

One time we were coming back from somewhere up near Lyndonville on 91 and saw a bald eagle sitting on top of a dead deer
