I don't know if you guys have noticed it, but I spotted a nice Bald Eagle in the Wahoo Creek area .....It was really cool to watch it dive into the lake and come out with dinner.....It flew over to the water's edge and enjoyed its picnic, then flew off to go home somewhere.....I've only seen it once, so it's keeping a low profile.....Have any of you seen it? .....Cj

CJ, I have one up here in my area above Clark's Bridge. He sat in the top of a big pine tree across the little cove behind my house. Majestic! I've seen him a couple times.
I also saw one last week on the south end of the lake.

Hey buddy, I saw the first one I have ever seen in the wild several months ago on the islands in front of 2 Mile. He/she was perched in a tree top right on the beach just checking me out. then flew down and up and did that eagle thing, it was very cool. Big Stan

I have a Mama and baby Bald Eagle in/near the back of Flat Creek. There is also one that hangs around the island at FC2/FC4. Its good to see the comeback.

My wife and I either saw 2, or saw 1 twice, mid-lake. It's great to see them... hopefully more and more often.

My part-time fishing partner wishes they would go back home.

Don't let the spiked collar or the Clint Eastwood stare fool ya, he's not that tough.

My mom has one and I believe the mean little "BLEEP" could take an eagle.
