The Eagles Haven't Returned

This is the only eagle to return to our area since the 4th of July weekend and the series of fireworks shows along the Indianola shore.

Prior to the 4th we had a pair of eagles sitting in this same tree on a daily basis and another two or three eagles in the area. At one point I saw four eagles in this tree and another flying by.

For a couple days after the fireworks I didn't see or hear a single eagle and then this one returned and is still the only one I see each day.

I wrote a post earlier about my change of heart regarding fireworks; going from my love of them as a child to a participant to my feelings now that all private shows should be banned.

The Indianola shows have grown tremendously over the last few years. This year's extravaganza was near professional in size and sound and lasted three nights resulting in a noteable impact on the wildlife in the area and especially our eagles.
