"over there" my eagle friend showed up again and I took some action
shots of seagulls.

Some nice shots there Tom. Looks like the snow is gone?

Loved your pix of the eagles. They are pretty rare (if at all) on S.E.
Mich, but last summer I was convinced that I was looking at one. It was
huge and way to big to be a hawk. Mentioned it to a DNR friend and he
said it had to be a Black or Turkey vulture. Didn't know they came to
Mich. either....

==================================
Thanx for the website, Jim, I found it very interesting and I'm
familiar with most of the places mentioned. My sister lived in Alpena
for a number of years and she and her husband were members of an eagle
watching club. They went to various places where they could expect to
see eagles and would report their sightings. She said they saw mostly
golden eagles. This was back in the 60s and I think the bald eagles were
a seriously endangered species at that time. Thanx again for sharing.
