Two mature Bald Eagles perching at the top of a Burr Oak tree. They are ignoring the camera, and are habituated to humans, so it is possible to find them very close to trails and roads. This pair nests in a nearby golf course.

   A change in size. One of the pairs of Bald Eagles has been out more frequently. This pair nests on the local golf course, so is habituated to noisy humans. They hunt in the local water supply and adjoining wetlands. There are 3 local pairs, one in the North Woods unit (old-growth lowland forest), the other just to the northwest. I frequently see the fledglings and immature Eagles hunting in the wetlands. They do not gain the distinctive coloration until they mature.
