Eagle Sighting

Last month my family and I spent a week in Door County, Wisconsin for a nice relaxing vacation. Door County is near Green Bay and is the "thumb" of Wisconsin (if you think of the outline of Wisconsin as a mitten).

While there we did some swimming on both sides of the peninsula (Lake Michigan and Green Bay) and enjoyed some of the parks. One of these parks is the Peninsula State Park which is very scenic and located on the west side of the peninsula. While driving through this park we saw a lookout tower and decided to climb it for the scenic view.

Here are a couple of pictures of the tower and it's sign:





From the top of the tower we had a nice view of Green Bay but even more exciting was a pair of bald eagles that we saw on a nearby tree (thanks to the family that had already spotted them).



Later one of the eagles flew off but I was too slow with my camera to get much of a picture.
