Yesterday at Hawk Ridge, there was so much excitement in the air! Frank
Nicoletti banded a gorgeous immature Bald Eagle, and I wanted to share some
of the fun eagle-in-the-hand moments with you (and wanted to keep in touch
with all of the fellow Wisconsin birding friends). So far this season, we've
had 6100 raptors migrate past ridge. When those great (and refreshing)
northwest winds come through, expect part of this migration to come your
way.

Look at the Bald Eagle's large talons!

That Bald Eagle is such a sharp-looking bird. In addition to the size of the
bill in the previous picture, look at the large bill that this beautiful
bird
has!
