Cool pic! Does anyone know if this is a typical behavior for Bald Eagles? It seems like all of a sudden there have been several sightings of Baldies on the Beach.
In the last couple of years I've been hearing stories (from around the country) of different behaviors and migration patterns among birds, fish, and wildlife. For instance, animals like armadillos and hedgehogs showing up far north of areas they've not inhabited in memorable history, robins not going south for winter, deep water fish in shallower waters, etc.
Even old timers (like my Dad) think these are indicators of long-term climactic shift. He shifted his 2012 planting season forward by about a month... a move that turned out to be advantageous.
Curious...
