We were up across the road from the east side of Lake Mille Lacs, doing some repairs to our fish house, when I saw a shadow go over, so I looked up, and watched 3 beautiful adult Bald Eagles go over at about 50 ft; Could hear the wind in their wings and they called just as they flew by. Wow.
They are there all winter, too. We frequently see eagles over the lake when we're fishing. My "Mille Lacs WINTER Lake List" stands at about 6 species: Bald eagle, Raven, Pileated Wdp (heard since we are only about a mile out), Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl (both heard), and Snow Bunting -- a flock went over when we were about 4-5 miles across the lake, one winter! The fish house has a painting of an eagle carrying off a fish under our name and house number.
