I watched an immature bald eagle hanging out at Hyland Lake in Bloomington yesterday. He seemed to cruise mostly along the shoreline, and at one point landed in a tree very close to where I was walking for a good look through my binocs. I also had a fleeting glimpse of a barred owl flying

Re: [mou-net] FW: great story

[mou] hite Pelicans

About 1PM I saw a flight of approximately 40 white pelicans meandering in circles high above and just east of the Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield. They were drifting to the southeast towards the airport. Let's hope there were no collisions. Gerald Brimacombe -- next part
