Camping with the Eagles

I just got back from a week camping in Northern Wisconsin. One of my favorite things about that area are the bald eagles living there. While camping this year I saw the most bald eagles I ever saw in a week’s stay. On one occasion I saw a congregation of four eagles soaring over the same lake looking for food and twice I witnessed eagles diving down and snagging a fish out of a lake! I had never seen an eagle do that in person before so I felt quite fortunate to have it happen before my eyes twice in one week.

Escanaba Lake

I do believe the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest (where I was camping) is my favorite area of Wisconsin. With all of the lakes, forests, fresh air and wildlife, no other part of the state has as many pristine and beautiful places as that area.
