Wow, just found a dead Bald Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
I was walking with my dog through a mini snowmobile trail that we have behind our cabin I used to ride on as a kid when the lake got boring, and I saw a big ass dead bird laying in a field half way through the trail. So I climbed under the electric / barbed wire fence and sure enough it was a Bald Eagle. So we called the state and they are having us get the tracking number on its foot.
Looks like it was possibily shot, which really pisses me off since on our lake we have a Bald Eagles Nest in a big old Pine tree that has been there since I was two. More than likely that is one of the two adult Bald Eagles that live in the nest on our lake with its young year after year.

Re: Wow, just found a dead Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
That does suck, but the thread title had me thinking you found a Eagle Talon car.
What type of bird was it?

An Eagle, The National Bird.
Sorry if it was unclear, I can see how it could be, considering the board I'm on.  |

lol!!
I knew I was forgetting something in front of Eagle, damn memory.
But, they came and picked the Bald Eagle up, he said it could be from a few different things like lead poisoning. He also said they are gonna send it to Madison to be examined and will let us know what the results are.
My father drove by the nest and said he only saw one of the Bald Eagles sitting in the nest tree on a branch, and this was close to dusk, almost as if they were wondering where their partner was. |

Re: Wow, just found a dead Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
As in bald? That might be worth reporting. I think the state keeps track of their numbers, at least in general.

Damn. That's what going up north is all about. If you're in the Minong/Gordon area, that's beautiful country.

Re: Wow, just found a dead Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
I'm about 25 minutes away from Siren, Wisconsin... Where that tornato ripped through over a year and a half ago, they had to rebuild everything. Now everything in that town has a nice new building instead of old crappy ones.

How far from Webster? My ex had/has a cabin on Austin Lake(tiny tiny) outside Webster. She grew up in Frederic.
Cool area, the cheese store in Alpha has some good cheese.  |

Not exactly how far from Webster to be honest. I'm not good with directions up here, and just plain in general not good with directions. Although, I drive past that Alpha cheese store on the way to my cabin and you are right, that place rocks! |

Re: Wow, just found a dead Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
Webster is like 10 minutes to the North of Siren. Minong is an hour NE of Siren. Like I said, I think that northern Wisconsin is just about the most beautiful place to vacation.

Re: Wow, just found a dead Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
I agree. Golfing is dirt cheap up there. But the ATV trails (logging trails) and the clear water is what keeps me coming back.

Re: Wow, just found a dead Eagle at my cabin in Wisconsin.
Yea I've heard good things about the ATV trails around here. All I do is snowmobile though. It is alright to trail ride around here, but if you want something serious you have to go to the U.P. in michigan.
