A dozen loons have been paddling around near my shore, when several members started giving the "yodel" call at about 1:30. Since that usually indicates an ultralight aircraft approaching over the shoreline, I glanced around —and saw nothing.
After about minute of the continuing winter preparations at the dock,
all of the loons were yodeling, and the sound level had
increased! I looked up again and saw the biggest bald eagle I've ever seen!
She (by the re-e-e-e-e-ally big size) was headed toward West Alton: a good place for an eagle to be watched, I'm guessing.
