I chose the American Eagle. I live on Amos Lake in Preston CT and these magnificent birds of prey are regulars here. The habitat is ideal as the lake is a trophy fishing lake not only for the anglers but for the eagles as well. Breeding season here in Connecticut is January/February. I have only lived here for one year but have been fortunate to see the eagles interact in courting as well as fighting over food. I love to watch them circle around and come down to the lake and snatch a fish with their talons. Very often their loud voices will alert us to their presence. When they fight over food their screeching becomes extremely loud. Many eagles winter over in Connecticut. Mostly the eagles will stay as long as their food source is available. I have also been fortunate to be able to photograph the eagles from my lake front deck without them ever knowing.
