There are a number of adult and juvenile bald eagles in the Melvin Bay area, and a long-term nesting pair not far away. I've seen them countless times in the Store Island area -- they love to "fish" in Melvin Bay and will move up and down the surrounding shores. They love tall shoreline pines, and we had one on our shore that they'd perch in regularly. I have some good video of one from last year. The "uninhabited" (Melvin Bay-facing) side of Black Island is another good perch. We had a juvenile baldy fumble a fish into the lake right in front of our house a few years ago...pretty funny, seeing a good-sized fish fall from the sky.
