Bald eagle numbers on Pig's Eye are down considerably from yesterday morning's high of about 100. Last evening and this morning, there were still over 50. This evening, there were about 30 on the last remaining area of ice on the south end of the lake and about 10 soaring and swooping in the vicinity. I expect most of these will leave as the rest of the ice melts. Of course, our resident nesters will stay (at least 3 active nests). There are still hundreds of mergansers and gulls, but they have moved farther out and are harder to see. Its fantastic to have a resource like Pigs Eye within view of downtown St. Paul.
