BEDFORD, N.H., Feb. 28 (UPI) -- New Hampshire State Police said a lane of traffic on 101 in Bedford was closed when a pair of bald eagles landed on the road.

Police said a trooper noticed the eagles in an eastbound lane of the road around 6:45 a.m. Sunday and traffic was diverted away from the birds, WMUR-TV, Manchester, reported Tuesday.

The eagles flew off after about an hour on the road and did not appear to be injured, state police said.
