Bald Eagle Sighted

Last night I took a short boat-ride with some friends. We headed across the Lake and behind Vicars island, heading south. We then trolled slowly between tiny Steere island and the shore. About 500 yards south of Steere island on the west shore, we looked up and there was a bald eagle perched on the top of a going-dead tree. We pulled right up underneath it and watched it for about 4 minutes. It then took off and flew south about another 100 yards to another tree on the west shore. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me.

I would estimate that it was a relatively young bald eagle with about a 6 foot wingspan. What a sight!

So if you’re in the vicinity, keep your eyes open for a beautiful bald eagle.
