   Day off today so decided, on my dog walk, to sling my binoculars over my shoulder and go for a ramble along the Boardwalk by Prince Albert Rd &#38; Lake Banook. Little did I realize I would be heading into a little mini-blizzard which pretty well obstructed any view of the lake or near-by trees for interesting birds.

   However, even though the binoculars weren&#39;t of much use with the whipping snow blowing across the surface of the lake I did get a pretty good look at 2 adult Bald Eagles and one really large juvenile (along with the usual crowd of crows) all on the surface feeding on something. I couldn&#39;t tell what it was.

   One of the adults took off and flew up over Silvers Hill and the other flew to another spot on the ice further away from the youngster and the crows.

   So I, along with&#160;&#39;Dash&#39; and &#39;JJ Jones&#39; in tow, continued down around Sullivan&#39;s Pond. A couple of Gulls but I couldn&#39;t tell really what type, Mallards and Widgeons.

  <div>
   A good walk none-the-less. The highlight was the Bald Eagles, though!
