Speaking of birds, wow, are the bald eagles everywhere all the sudden.
After rarely seeing them in my life, now we've got 'em just hanging
around
the airport, sitting on the beacon tower. I taxied past one the other
day
that looked danged-near as big as us.

jay...the lake mcbride area is pretty infested with them. there is also
a "raptor center" there too. since the lake has been pretty well
frozen-over, they might be expanding their diet from fish to rats and
such. just guessing.

Yeah, I suppose McBride is just a hop-skip-jump for a bird with an 8 foot
wingspan.

Dang, bald eagles are beautiful -- but I sure hope they stay the heck out of
my way.
