Just saw a lot of splashing quite far out on the pond.  With binoculars, we saw it was an adult Bald Eagle swimming, rather like doing the breast stroke with both wings coming way out of the water at the same time!  Pair of loons were wailing a warning, as well as crows cawing away in the shoreline woods.  We were afraid it was in distress, as it paddled quite a long way, but it eventually took flight.  We did not see any catch hanging from its feet.  

We have seen Bald Eagles two or three times a year, all seasons.  There is still quite a bit of ice on the pond, maybe 25%.
