On our way back from the Twin Cities today. We decided to take the
river route home. Little did we know what hazards we would face. Just
south of Lake City MN we noticed most of Lake Pepin was open and on
the remaining ice were many bald eagles. At one point a juvenile
eagle came flying up from the lake and from the bluff side came flying
in another, they met just over the highway and kind of did a talon
joust. At this point they were about 100’ in the air, then I saw
something drop out of the sky thinking it was probably just a loosen
feather, but also noticed how quickly it fell. Well it landed about 20
yards ahead of me…It was a carp/sucker about 12 inches long, landing
right on the dividing line of the highway.
Nature is a dangerous place indeed. :)
