Seven Eagle Sightings in One Day!

Family members watched a black Jet-Ski strike a Cormorant, and checked on its condition.

One family member touched the Cormorant, but it appeared its neck had been broken. I asked if the bird was warm, and they didn't determine that. (Birds run a normal temperature of about 105 degrees).

Cormorants are a fairly large bird, and  was likely too large to lift from the surface, so each of the Eagles we saw were giving that meal a "pass".

 

This doesn't speak well for speedboaters encountering other surfacing birds—such as our "resident" Loons.

Our bay started this week with five "resident" Loons— —by Thursday, we are down to three.
