Here’s looking at you! How’s this for a close up of our nations symbol? When I was a kid the only way you could see an eagle was at a zoo or in a travelogue about Alaska. I would of never guessed that they would almost be a common sight here in Monroe.
In the past week I’ve seen three eagles. One was flying near the river raisin (I’ve seen this one before.) Then this past Monday we saw two of them while on the golf course. Those two were flying in circles overhead, evidently looking for something to eat. I never had my camera, so no pictures were taken. But just the other day, my nephew Derek’s wife Mary e-mailed me and said an eagle had been perched in their backyard for most of the afternoon. She took some pictures, and sent me this one. It looks like the huge mature bird is staring a hole through Mary. What a “cool” visitor to have drop in on the local squirrel population. I’m not sure that’s what the eagle was doing, but there is an over abundance of squirrel’s running around their place. Way to go Mary, great picture! It almost makes you want to salute.

That is one cool picture. I’ve never seen an eagle around my place, but I see them all the time when we are fishing in Baldwin.
If she could, would she send him over to my place. I have plenty of squirrel food for him.
