Ahhhh.... Maybe that's why I saw about 7 B. Eagles today as I drove from Columbus to White Bear Lk, and back again (may have seen same ones 2x).
Only 2-3 of those are resident birds. They are on the move!!

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. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
