Wow, what a sighting! During the winter, Bald Eagles can be found throughout Michigan (almost all counties). Michigan's eagles don't really migrate, but once lakes start to freeze up north, they move south to find open water for hunting. Curious immature birds may even venture further south.
Starting mid-February to mid-March the birds will once again move north to nest mainly in the Upper Peninsula and the northern portion of the Lower Peninsula.[1] Until then, keep your eyes to the sky on your walks.
