Today, a very large, mature Bald Eagle was fishing on Highland Lake - rather successfully, I might add. It was perched in the trees near the gate to the outlet ditch. Later this afternoon, I was able to photograph a juvenile Bald Eagle perched on the power pole near the edge of our west yard. It was definitely less interested in fishing, than it was in my chickens moving about my yard. Chickens are safe, and Eagle moved over to the north shore area of the lake.
Pauli Smith Highland Lake, near Mead, Weld. Just a note, that while Highland Lake is privately owned, it is open to the public. Even during the height of the fishing and boating season, there is no charge to walk around the lake and take in the scenery. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
