Possibly Mating Bald Eagles Halt Traffic On Rte. 101 In NH « CBS Boston

BEDFORD, N.H. (CBS) – Two bald eagles were spotted tangled in one another on Route 101 in Bedford, New Hampshire on Sunday morning.

Troopers who arrived on the scene and originally thought they were responding to an accident, but instead they saw a car stopped in the middle of the road to protect the rare birds.

Trooper S. Clark said the birds appeared to have been mating, though she wasn’t certain.

Because bald eagles are federally protected, troopers called in the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department to protect them.

Crews tried to approach the birds, but they became agitated before detaching themselves from each other and flying away.

Clark said in her 24 ft on the force, she has never seen two eagles land on a highway.
