Wells County: Where Eagles Fly!



Yes, folks, there is indeed a bald eagle flying around 200N near the quarry. Intern Devan and I traipsed through the mud and muck to confirm it was there, tried to shoot some video, then decided it was best to send Managing Editor Glen Werling out with his telephoto lens to get a good picture. Check it out in tomorrow's News-Banner.

In our first video you can catch a glimpse of the big bird as he takes fight from the tree on which he had been sitting, just moments before we could snap his picture. In the second you can see him circling, way off in the distance. We got mud on our shoes and nearly froze to death, but we confirmed the sighting and Glen got the photo. Teamwork, gotta love it!
