Our record count on a drive (we only count in one direction, not a round trip) was 81, some two thirds of which were Bald Eagles.
One January we were cruising down Trincomali when we saw what appeared to be a large flock of seagulls going after something in the water. As we got closer we realized they were Bald Eagles, and we stopped counting past 50. An amazing sight.
