Bald Eagle in Alton

[Long Pine]

I got two nice surprises while checking my webcam this morning. First was that the ice was out of our cove (it was still socked in last night). The second is that unless one of you bird experts wants to burst my bubble, I think I captured a few images of a bald eagle on my dock and then one of it in the air. Picture quality is poor because I was just capturing screen shots of my webcam picture on my computer but it seems to me that it is a bald eagle based on size and coloring. We had not seen one in our part of the lake before (SE side in Alton).

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us Long Pine. Eagles are always a treat to see.

You can bet your bottom it's an eagle mostly looking for fish for it's meal.
