Eagle Watch co-ordinator Malcolm Lake says it’s fairly exciting to view when they swoop down to feed.

The eagle watch breakfasts, hall rentals and harvest fair make it possible to keep the hall open in the community.

Eagle Watch continues Jan. 29 and Feb. 4-5. The breakfasts, held at the Sheffield Mills Community Hall, run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on every watch day.

The hall is located at 98 Black Hole Rd.
