Folks, meet Makida - hatched June 2007 - When we arrived at Hatchie NWR at dawn, the bird was sitting out in the middle of the lake with some Great Egrets. Just after it got light enough for photos, an adult Bald Eagle spooked everything. We thought it would have been terrible to see it take the Whooper!!
