What exactly are you "babbling" about? Bald Eagles all over around Eagle River area. Oh...and what's "Wisconney"?

Things we take for granted. We see eagles every day, but don't think much of it. Just get used to them and then don't appreciate people from other area's don't see them as regular as we do. I notice them more when on the Harley as sometimes they will swoop down on you to get something along the roadside or ditch. Nice to see others can enjoy what we take for granted and don't think twice about. Next time I see an eagle (probably today) I will appreciate it more. Thank you for waking me up to the wonders of our land.

I have seen quite a few "piles" of birds near open water in the winter months. The WI river at Praire Du Sac and the Miss at Dubuque are two that come to mind. I remember a time where I saw about 20 birds in one tree along the river in Iowa.

I was out this morning between the house and the lake and 2 eagles flew right along the tree tops along the shore. I was very close to them. It's a daily event up here and I never get tired of it! I love watching eagles and loons.

A convocation of eagles! :smug:

Not a correction, just more "fun with words" — English terms of venery[SUP]1[/SUP] (venery being an archaic word for hunting) — names for groups of animals: like a murder of crows, a gaggle of geese (on land), a skein or wedge of geese (in flight), a watch of nightingales, a parliament of owls, an ostentation of peacocks, a convent of penguins, a flamboyance of flamingos, a gulp of swallows, a wake of vultures, a bloat of hippos, a barren of mules, a bask of crocodiles … [Some really clever puns among those!]

[SUP]1[/SUP]Many of these terms date back to 15th-century lists of 'proper terms', such as those in the Book of St Albans (1486). Some are fanciful or humorous terms which probably never had any real currency, but have been taken up by antiquarian writers, notably Joseph Strutt in Sports and Pastimes of England (1801).
