Exciting to spot this out my office window! Only the second time I've seen a bald eagle from our yard in the 7 years we've been here. It's easy to see them along the Anacostia and Potomac, but we live at least 2 miles from the nearest river.

Has been there about a week. Rare vagrant. Plumage looks perfect & bird appears healthy. Big crowds watch it & photograph it, especially since the Wash Post wrote about it & the Swiss ambassador photographed it! Occasionally it sits on & eats the invasive Asian beefsteak plant pictured in this photograph, which smells like peppermint even when it's dried out. Still there on January 10, 2021.

Mushroom with a dry creamy-tan cap with purple hints and purple gills. Cap lightly fibrous, 3.5 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height. Gills attached with a slight decurrent tooth. Stipe pale purple near apex and tan towards base. On soil in remnant mature coastal broadleaf forest.

El individuo se presenta a plena luz del día y recorre tranquilamente las ramas del yarumo para alimentarse. Tarda unos 20 mintuos en recorrer cada una de las ramas y descender. Siempre lo veo en el mismo árbol.

Pude observarlo a plena luz recorrer cada una de las ramas del mismo yarumo (Cecropia angustifolia) donde lo vimos la semana pasada alimentándose. También pude observarlo usar su cola prensil para asegurarse en el árbol.
Aquí el video que registré del avistamiento: https://youtu.be/Acf82Zx1wIM
