Eagles… Eagles… Eagles
I counted 24 Bald Eagles on my morning commute along highway 61 from Winona to the National Eagle Center this morning. The majority of the birds were flying however several were perched.
At least two pairs of Eagles were having a bit of a dispute over whose territory the River valley is.
For the first time today I saw a pair of Eagles sitting in the cottonwood tree on the riverbank in Wabasha. Cottonwood Eagle is typically alone in her roost.
The backwaters have begun to freeze. The Coots, Swans, Geese, and Ducks are now absent from Weaver Bottoms.
It seems that winter and the lick of our arctic neighbor Jack Frost has finally settled in for the season.
