Some folks on four wheelers decided to stop by the island (or at least very close to) today. While it is not rare to see 4-wheelers on the ice, it is a bit of an event to see them in the harbor and scooting along the shore. Meanwhile, a bald eagle was enjoying his lunch out on the ice just off of the Iroquois break wall and did not seem to mind the visitors motoring on by just twenty or thirty yards away. I was watching the eagle eat through the binoculars and was noticing the
prey's head bop around a bit as though it was not quite finished off yet. The eagle was not moving in any fashion that would indicate that he was the source of the movement. I was disappointed that the eagle looks like a chicken in the included photo, but it could have been worse, considering that I took it using a camera phone shot through the right side of a pair of binoculars. Cool stuff.
