Bald eagle makes a rare visit to this N.J. city (PHOTOS) Updated Nov 11; Posted Nov 11 By Ron Zeitlinger The Jersey Journal NJ.com A couple weeks ago it was a barge. This week it's a bird.
Bayonne received another unexpected and rare visit Friday afternoon -- by a bald eagle who spent some time downtown. The eagle landed in a crosswalk at Ninth Street and Avenue A and then took a little tour of the area. "I was shocked to see the eagle land in the street the way it did," said David La Pelusa, who snapped the photos in the gallery above. "Cars were whizzing by -- I was one of them -- and the eagle didn't even flinch. "It looked like it was hurt. It was limping around as it walked around the intersection. I've never seen an eagle outside of a zoo. It was by far the most impressive sight I've seen in Bayonne."

I really admire the bald eagle, they are just so proud. If you ask me, there is no other bird that can stand to them. I am really sad with the idea of them just going extinct, and that is because we humans are at fault. I want to be able to go and admire them for as long as I can, and I want people to go and admire them too. I hope that we can just protect them.
