Two Bald Eagles Seen Today at Mentor Lagoons

Today we walked along the lake shore by Mentor Lagoons, a wonderful area within the city limits of Mentor, Ohio. Mentor is an eastern suburb of Cleveland and has a population of about 55,000. It also has about a mile of wild lake shore that is now protected parkland. This must be one of the few undeveloped areas of the southern shore of Lake Erie. I guess the bald eagles we saw today noticed the great fishing, the wild lake shore, the hundreds of acres of undeveloped forest, the hundreds of acres of marshland--and they thought, this looks like a great place to live, to raise our babies.

These eagles flew directly over our heads, about 50 feet above the ground. We felt incredibly blessed.
