Bald Eagle Stops in St. Michael for Some Dinner

A St. Michael Patch user grabbed some amazing video this week near the high school.

Patch user Jeff Grotte zipped us a video he captured near the St. Michael-Albertville High School this week after he spotted a bald eagle in a field nearby. 

Grotte caught the eagle grabbing some dinner, enjoying a course of raccoon. 

While it's not exceedingly rare to see an American Bald Eagle in the St. Michael (MN) area any longer–the birds nest along the Crow River–it is rare, experts say, to witness one in the open and eating. 

Thanks, Jeff!
