Bald Eagle

Bald Eagle

I was recently camping in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  A fantastic landscape of lake and woods and all the things that make Northern Michigan wonderful.  I was kayaking around the lake when I suddenly looked up when I was close to shore and noticed this handsome eagle perched in the tree above the lake.  The most interesting thing about the encounter was how close I was to the eagle without causing him some discomfort.  Apparently a small blue kayak close to the shore is nothing to concern a 2-foot tall wild raptor.
