Raptors at Palmer Lake

If you don’t know what a raptor is, it is a bird of prey.

I found this bald eagle on a power pole on August 29th. Bald eagles are a rare and interesting bird that was on the verge of extinction in 1978. There is a pair of them at Palmer Lake and you can spot them on the power poles.

This is a closeup picture of a bald eagle I took. In August I went to the National eagle center up in Wabasha Minnesota, and they have three bald eagles.

I also found a Red-tailed hawk yesterday on a power pole at Palmer Lake. When you are looking for these raptors, you have to look closely at the power poles.
