I've been meaning to report here about the Bald Eagles who are wintering nearby. We have seen as many as 8 of them feeding in a field about a mile from our house.

Occasionally, when we pass the field there will only be a couple of them.

What is the attraction to this field? The farmer there has just cleaned out his hog houses, and they are feeding on the spilled feed and dead baby pigs. It sounds yucky, I know. But this has been happening for several years, and State Conservationists have built a little 'blind' to hide in and study these birds. Conservationists report the Eagles seen to have developed quite a taste for pork.

I plan to pull over and watch them awhile some day this week when I pass that way.
