My daughter got a picture of a bald eagle at the corner of her street perched in a tree, rural area....Michigan, about 50 miles N. of Detroit...she was glad she had her camera with her...she is a birder and has lots of bluebirds nesting in her boxes. Watched an eagle eat one of her ducks, had a box for wood ducks on a branch over her pond and one year has them raise a brood...they would just drop out of the box into the water when ready to fledge...
And she has wood ducks too? That's not fair! Lol!
There is nothing more beautiful than a male wood duck in full breeding plumage.
