I noticed George Clark's post about the adult eagles seen at Wilder Dam. The kids (at times up to 6 immature eagles) were North on the Connecticut R. on the edge of the ice next to the island across from the mouth of the Ompompanoosuc River. The Conn. R. was open Sat, and that seems to attract them to that area, at least this winter.

More than 25 participants attended this morning's Eagle Watch arranged
by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon and held on the
Vermont side of the Wilder Dam in Wilder, VT. Under occasional (and
quite unanticipated) sunny skies, two adult Bald Eagles were seen,
although most of the time just one of them was in sight. Perching was
seen on both the New Hampshire and Vermont sides of the Connecticut
River. At one time in late morning, an eagle went flying up on a
rising thermal and and used the lift to gain substantial altitude
without even a wingbeat. At another time, a few fortunate participants
saw an eagle carrying a large stick which was dropped during flight.
