The Eagle Journal

You would not expect Centerport, a community on Long Island's North Shore in New York, to be a place for watching American bald eagles. Since September 2017, though, the author has found it to be exactly that. Two eagles have made a home there and, over three years, raised seven young. The author describes the pleasure of seeing the species return to the region, only about 40 miles from New York City, after none were recorded there before 2006. Reports now count at least eight adult pairs.

The author watched and photographed the birds as they built their nests, flew overhead, and hunted. This journal combines those observations with blank pages, so readers can record their own time with the birds. Its closing invitation asks readers to be inspired by the eagles and to use the book to soar.
