One swooped down to pick up some road kill on O'Dell by the Duval Pool right in front of me as I was driving. I stopped the car just to admire the eagle as this was the first time I have ever seen one in the wild.

About a week later I was talking with a gentleman on 466a about the gator in the pond across the street and an eagle flew right over our heads. It flew south of 466a into the new construction area. Another great sight.

I was also told that the eagles that were once in the preserve have not come back after the hurricane a few years back. Not sure if that is true or not.
