  • Little American Lake: A different kind of Airshow

    Many of us have gone to a boat race sometime and felt that there was too much airshow and not enough boat race.

    We had a different kind of airshow at Little American Lake, where there was great boat racing on the water, and a family of Bald Eagles diving and feeding above us.

    Christine got these shots....amazing to watch!

    I observed three dives to the water to grab a trout. They were unsuccessful but when they are just 30 feet in front of you it is quite a site.

      I love watching Bald Eagles and Osprey fishing. Off the departure end of runway 22 at the airport where I work there are a few Bald Eagle nests. As we all know from the "miracle on the Hudson" planes and birds do not play well together. Occasionally a Bald Eagle returning from a successful hunt will choose the convenience of our spacious runways to take a rest break while carting a big fish back home.

      To this date I have never had a pilot pitch a hissy when we inform them their departure will be delayed until Baldy catches his/her breath and completes their takeoff and turnout.

      Beautiful to watch . . .
