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!
