ICYMI: Bald Eagle Calls Long Valley Home For The Weekend

Rare sighting on Cindy Lane Sunday morning.

LONG VALLEY - The town was pretty patriotic over the weekend.

That’s thanks to a beautiful bald eagle that decided to hang around on a tree branch on Cindy Lane Sunday morning, just long enough for resident Rolf Denton to snap a couple photos.

While the nation’s symbol was removed from the endangered species list in 2007 thanks to a strong population rebound over the course of 50 years, bald eagles are not common to the area.
