Watching Eagles soaring while in tree stand

[creekwood]

I love watching the eagles soar while sitting in my tree stand.  They work the river valley adjacent to one of my favorite places to bowhunt.  There is live streaming video of an eagle nest available if you go to this website:

The eggs are due to hatch at any time and this morning I think I saw holes in each egg where the eaglets are chipping their way out into the world.

ALWAYS SPECTACULAR!

I can sit on my deck and watch Bald Eagles on a any given day. It's really neat to think that just a few years ago they were very rare in this part on the world.......now I see them all the time. Most times it's a mature pair and a juvenile. Not a bad day to have coffee and see them soar.........

A True American Treasure.

We used to refer to them as the American Bald Buzzard.  On Adak they subsisted to a large part on garbage from the dump.  The year the navy was required to close the dump each night over 35 dead eagles were found that winter. They were so tame you could get within 3-4 feet of some.

There is sure no shortage of them anymore and in northern MN we either get the deer out of the woods quickly or bury it it thick brush so they can't get to it.  They can eat a lot in a short while.

Watching God's creation-a big part of trad for me.

Many years ago, on a cold and frosty November morn, I was sitting in a treestand on our property in Michigan's UP.  As I sat there I could'nt shake the feeling that I was being watched.  I happened to look up and to my left and not 20 ft. away was a Snowy Owl watching me.  One of the coolest things I've ever seen while bowhunting!

This is a streaming camera down in Norfolk, VA. They now shut it down at night, but the link will give you info on development.
The cam will start streaming at 5:30 AM.

The woods, the world, would feel dead without the hunting birds.

I was watching a pair establish a new nest today. The tree with the old nest fell over the winter.
Our eagles are now after the spawning olachen (hooligan) in the river nearby, along with the sea lions and seals. What a feeding frenzy after the long winter.
