[Bald eagles are] fairly thick on the ground in Nova Scotia for some reason. I suspect the local chicken industry, but they also love the salmon and trout. I was dive-bombed by one once while riding in Cape Breton. Still, magnificent birds. We've got a lot of them on a reservoir about 20 miles north of here, in NE Ohio. And I know of another nest less than 5 miles away from a very busy suburban shopping area right nearby. On bike rides, we've watched their aerial acrobatics - diving at each other, doing barrel rolls, etc. Someone said it was courting behavior. Whatever it was, it's spectacular. - Frank Krygowski |

(Have to start carrying a camera.) Speaking (literally) of obstuctions, I came up on a red tail hawk the other day - perched in the middle of the road; just stood there with its back to me as I veered way around. |

There were swamps and wildlife. I asked where to find a lizard, and was told to stroll down the first fairway to the bottom of the hill, find the pond at the bottom and there may be one sunning itself nearby. I took photos and retrieved balls (golf) from nearby that others were too scared to. I got quite close. Kneeling to get a better front on photograph. They seem like such mild mannered pussy cats compared to the crocs here and in Africa. -- JS |
