The eagles come every winter and although we plan to go frequently it seems we go only a few times.
The most we have seen on one visit so far is fifteen.
We have had a very cold winter and have never seen the lake as frozen as yesterday.
Some of the ice formations were impressive.
I don’t have a very good camera but I was able to get a few shots of some eagles in the trees.
Most people we speak to do not even know that eagles can be seen in Oklahoma. But we did see about 5 other people viewing them yesterday and we were glad for that.
We saw ten eagles out on the ice at one time. Two were consistently stealing food that a couple of sea gulls were catching.
They are always fun to watch. They move with such ease for as large as they are. And of course their strength is evident in every movement.
We had to play at the park for a few minutes before returning home.
We had the pleasure of seeing a large flock of cedar waxwings feeding on some cedar berries, a pileated woodpecker, six green herons sitting by the dam run off and a racy set of green winged teal. It was a good bird day.
It was also quite beautiful compared to the eight degree days we have been experiencing. I think the high was around 44 degrees although the wind made it feel like about 20.
Hopefully we will get back to see them one more time before they leave.
We always have a fun time. All it costs is a little gas money. Watching the eagles is always a great reminder of the creativity and mastery of God.
We returned home to hot chocolate made with fresh cow's milk and a fresh baked apple pie. Happy New Year to all my readers and may it be a blessed one for us all!
