Two bald eagles perch along the Connecticut River in Westmoreland in late December. Photographer Richard Schmidt observed the pair of eagles, which mate for life, as they flew down the river and perched beside each other on a tree branch. “Then they flew a short distance up the river and perched on another branch, again screeching and then admiring each other,” he said in an email. Schmidt said the behavior appears to be early mating activity, according to various sources.
