Was surprised to see a Bald Eagle a few miles south of Lake Shetek in
Murray County on Monday. Looked to be an immature - near adult - and was
soaring high in a thermal. It peeled off and joined a group of high flying
pelicans in another thermal to the west. Lost sight of it after about 25
minutes. I don't know of any recent confirmed nesting of Bald Eagle south
of the MN River in SW MN, and would suspect this is a wandering bird. Any
other thoughts?
