I love watching the birds. I think I may have had a chickadee today.

The hawks don't come over much, they stay by the woods. Beautiful birds, aren't they? I love watching them.

This area is filled with hawks and sometimes eagles.

During January, early February, there is a migration of bald eagles that pass nearby. At one place where they let birdwatchers get near, there is a pond system with a creek that runs through it filled with carp. They drop the water level to make it easier for the carp to get caught, and the eagles sit on the ice (because most of the water that is calm freezes, with only some open areas), and the eagles just relax and get fat on the carp...hundreds of them. It's pretty neat to see.
