They are truly magnificent birds! We saw one here in the Minge Cove area earlier this week. Like the one Pepper saw, this one glided over our house at a very low altitude and then flew out over the water. He was evidently hunting for food, and as he proceeded up the shoreline he would periodically swoop down to the water's smooth surface and then rise again. In the past, we've found that as soon as the lake freezes over the bald eagles leave, probably moving either to the coast or to open rivers.
