They are probably there more than you think they just go unnoticed.. especially this time of year a large number of them migrate south.

When I lived there not so long ago, I would see at least several eagles every year. Funny how the lady in the article is calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime event".

If anyone is interested this is a link to a live Eagle nest in Florida. My kids and I watched the eagles just about every night from the time they laid eggs to the eggs hatching, feeding, till the hatchlings grew and left the nest. It was fun watching them grow from a newly hatched to full size over a few months.

Not here in Mercer County.  We've seen a TON of them in the last few years.

While I was in the gaurd I was in Alaska on TAD and I saw one.  I said WOW, everyone said what is it?  I said a Bald Eagle, they said so what.

Yeah, it’s not as big a thrill now, but still very cool.  I had one show me up during a fishing day once.  He caught one, I caught none.

We have a nest near me in Bridgewater on Duke Farms by the river. I was fishing the confluence one day and she (or he) flew right over my head. Kinda scared me it was so low and SO large! 

 Heres a link to the YouTube site thats hosting it now. They've been using this nest for a few years but didn't show up last year. A few years ago the camera was on when a Red Tail Hawk landed in the nest with the chicks there. It must have had a death wish because the mother eagle zoomed in and tore that hawk up and fed it to the chicks. Hope they come back this year.

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
