Images of the wild.















Not often but even an eagle makes a mistake.
this one grabbed a sucker being used to bait large pike.
he was very surprised when the sucker was ripped out of his grasp.
Luckily the hooks were avoided. I had the pleasure of caring for some
young bald eagles when I was a teenager and they never really got very friendly.
I wouldn't have wanted to handle that eagle with a hook in it.
















This owl hawk seemed to enjoy watching a shorelunch being prepared.















Of course loons are common in this area.
I think there may be a few more loons per square mile on Nungesser Lake
simply because the lake holds more fish per acre than almost any lake
I've seen.
