Here’s to all of you patient, frazzled Morris and Somerset County residents who are still without electric power (my wife and me included) after the storm of October 29, 2011. A bit of bright news was reported this afternoon by Simon Lane as his wife and he spotted a Golden Eagle at the overlook on Pleasant Plains Road in the Great Swamp N.W.R. To quote Simon: “(the) Sub-adult, circled the area slowly and cruised off SE after a few minutes.”

Bravo on a great sighting and a hopeful sign of better times immediately ahead.
