I received an email from Gwen McMullen in Warsaw. Her son, Sandy, works at the Unimin Mine and lives on the Galesburg South Road. He drives to work along County Road #6 to the mine. On November 28, he emailed his mom, saying: “I was seeing groups of eagles all day. 2 to 4 at a time. Over the 5 mile road I travel I was seeing them it seemed everywhere. I figured it must have been the same group traveling. Late afternoon I went on the tailings dam and surprised maybe 20 plus in one group. I estimated 8 mature Bald Eagles with white heads. There may have been Golden Eagles as well. The dark ones were very large compared to the white heads. You would think there was a salmon run on! Just sharing.”
