Canyon Park Cabin

I spotted an Eagle soaring high above the Military Ridge today. We often see them in January and February when they gather to feed in open waters on the Wisconsin River. The river is 10 miles to the north and the birds hunt in a wide range when the weather is good.
It’s so exciting to see them, because they were nearly extinct when we were growing up. Earlier in the day, I had been hoping to spot an eagle, because it’s the right time of year and the right kind of day. So when I saw his feathers glistening in the sun, I waved and hollered to him. I swear he gave me a little dip of his wing in reply!
