Wow! Easter Sunday we looked out to the lake and on the ice were two male eagles and a female. They were doing the mating dance. Wish I had a camera that could get a great picture. I am sure this is a once in a life time siting. This winter we have had many eagle siting. There was a dead deer on the ice between Daniels and Van Andles two eagles had many of dinners on that one. What a great place to live.

In case you have not heard the new today, we posted an alert sent to us by Mary Dettloff a public information officer of the DNR. The full note and discussion can be found at http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=248252
In a nutshell, due to the discovery of CWD in a deer, a baiting ban was automatically placed into effect immediately for the entire LP. Please feel free to come in and join in the discussion on how this whole issue will affect the future of deer hunting in MI. While we don’t like to send out these alerts too often we felt it was needed in this case as these regulation changes may not make it into the hunting guide for this year.
CWD has changed the face of deer hunting in Wisconsin where it has previously been discovered and eradication efforts have been under way for some time, see:

Just wanted you to know that the swans at the north end of the lake that had three babies now only have one. We watched for a long time and could not see the other two babies.
We took this picture looking outside our kitchen window this winter (2008). The deer came by at almost the exact same time each morning; about 8:00 AM. It was pretty amazing! – Derrick.
