Pair of Bald Eagles

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Order: Falconiformes         Family: Accipitridae From a double decker nest to a pair of Bald Eagles. Did you know that the Bald Eagle is the second largest bird of prey, and that it has a wingspan from about 5 1/2 to almost 8 feet?  Since their preferred food is fish they are almost always found near open water. This pair is probably still hanging around here because the Ottertail river is nearby and parts of it remain open year round. And they weren't the only pair I saw. I saw another pair on another tower about a half mile away from this pair. By the way, most of the Bald Eagles in the state at this time of year are probably congregating along the Mississippi River south of Red Wing.
