Eagle Sightings

The above snapshot is a pair of Bald Eagles that I've seen on the break wall in Carre Hagel Park last November. Since then. I've been increasingly aware that a pair or more of Bald Eagles hanging around in the Racine County area. More than two dozen sighting have been reported....

To give an idea what is going on...

On November 4, I saw two eagles at Carre Hagel Park. Later on, in the SAME morning, I saw ANOTHER one by the lighthouse.

On November 10, I saw one perched in a tree at Smolenski Park. 

 Just after Thanksgiving, I saw another by the lighthouse with members of the Hoy Audubon.

Just before Christmas, Tender Heart and I saw fly over Hwy 100 in Oak Creek. It was heading east.

Two weeks ago, Tender Heart and I saw one fly over Carre Hagal Park.

Last Thursday, Tender Heart saw one fly over 4 Mile Rd. It was heading north.

Over the weekend, we again saw another near the Festival site.

That's just a few reported sightings....  I've heard of some being at the Pugh Marina, Carthage College, Echo Lake out in Burlington and other place around here.

A good way to find these eagles is to keep an eye the gulls and geese. If an eagle appears, they will manically fly up into the skies creating a chaotic confusion  Remember, a birds' eyesight is very keen.

I'm aware of that some readers may have never seen an eagle, now is a good time to keep an eye on the skies.... Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up, drew. I've only seen caged eagles. I'll keep my eye on the sky.
