There was really only one remarkable point to this High Point.
When I was approaching it I saw some really huge birds as I got closer I saw it was 12 Bald Eagles sitting around the Highest Point in this field.
Well come to find out it is right near the highest points for the County.
I could not get very close as they had eye's like Eagles.
But I managed to get one image of a younger Eagle who let me get within 300 yards.
His head was still brown and has not turned white just yet but all the others had white heads.
They were huge and had about 6' wingspan.
I think the local chicken farmer may feed them as well.
It was hard to really determine this one but did the best I could,even the County High Pointers say it is unremarkable.
As always have fun be safe and
