The Great Outdoors:
Perhaps this was the first time in 31 years that you had that 4th quart of Pelinkovac??
"
The only people I know that drink Pelinkovac are Croatian (or married to a Croatian)....

Never seen that, Mike. I was on a lake once with three eagles that flew here and there, always as a trio in a straight line.

Just thought it was extremely rare to see such an activity. Didn't look like the bird was in any distress, just acted as natural as a gull. Maybe it had seen enough gulls and ducks do it and decided to give it a try?"

Zeus told me you saw a Hippo swimming with a Walrus on one trip after the third quart! :)"
Zeus was hitting the hard stuff more than I was. Of course it might take him a few more to get a buzz with how big he is :)

Couple years ago daughter Sadie and I were across the lake at neighbor Joan’s. We were watching a loon and her baby as an eagle came down and killed em both. He sat there a bit before I shoed him off... hoping at least the mother got away. She didn’t.

On my latest trip to Quetico I witnessed an eagle land in the lake and just bob in the waves like a gull. I thought it was just going to grab a fish and fly off, but it just landed in the lake and floated around for a couple of minutes until flying over to shore. Did watch this eagle catch two smallmouth out of the lake that week. Has anyone else ever seen such a thing?

I have not but there are a lot of videos of Eagles swimming.
Hope this link works for many videos of eagles swimming, if not just google it and many will come up.
