Spring Teaser

After temps around 50 earlier this week, we have returned to more seasonal temps in the 30's. Nonetheless, the warmer weather did melt much of our snow, so it is at least looking a little more spring-like around here!

But, some water has been opening up and, with it, the number of eagle observations is increasing. Bald Eagles tend to head north as the lakes and rivers open up so they can find fish to eat. But, the melting snow also exposes animal carcasses that have been buried all winter, and the eagles feast on those, as well! Mmmm! Waterfowl are also moving north now that things are opening up, and the eagles follow those flocks, as well, ready to pick off any sick or injured birds that they may spot! So, take a short drive and find some open water; look around carefully and you may just see a Bald Eagle or two!
