Eagle Cams

I have been searching the internet lately and found a few eagle cams where you can watch Bald Eagles lay their eggs all the way up to when the chicks leave the nest. Here are the links:

Bald Eagles

During the winter months a group of Bald Eagles come to stay with the Tyndall community. They stay a few miles out of town, where they are fed (dead pig from hog farmers) and have nice big houses (big shelter belts). At one time I have counted up to 30 Bald Eagles at a time. Here are a few pictures I have taken of the Eagles
A Bald Eagle eying me.

Here is a picture of two Eagles, the Bald Eagle on the right and an unknown Eagle
on the left, my guess is that it is either a Golden Eagle or a immature Bald Eagle.

This is South Dakota for Ya!!

Well another winter storm has rolled through, hopefully get down to the last few storms. This storm brought frigid temperatures of as low as -30 at one time! I saw on the news of Rapid City have a -52 degree wind chill. That is pure South Dakota weather. Today almost felt like a heat wave! Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer! The nice thing about winter weather is that I get a lot of money from scooping the neighbor ladies' sidewalk. I have made around $800 this winter. I only have $90 left for my trip! During this past storm I caught a glimpse of Sun-dogs.

     Recently I was talking to Survivors Holly Hoffman via Facebook and I asked if she would send me her autograph. Well, today I got it in the mail and it was more than what I expected, I received a picture too!
