KETTLES ON; KIDDIES OUTTA THE POOL

There was a kettle of immature Bald Eagles over Pointe Mouillee just south of Detroit this morning. When I first saw this phenomenon I could not imagine what was up:

At one time there were six of them circling and swooping about.

One of the eagles had a duck or coot and the others were hoping to make a steal. Here’s the successful predator carrying its prey.

OKAY, KIDS, OUT OF THE WATER:

Tomorrow we begin the PIB trip to northwestern Ohio, co-sponsored by Golden gate Audubon.
