The mosquito and the bald eagle

This could be a child's fable or nature battle. It is neither. Walking downtown this evening to catch my bus home, a mosquito lands on my hand. It was an easy kill. But really? A mosquito? It is early April. We DO NOT need a mosquito.

And now the eagle. Running around Lake Calhoun, I see a girl with her camera phone. I look where she is looking and there is a bald eagle not 10 feet away in a small tree right next to the path and the lake. Amazing.

Two very Minnesota things...a mosquito and a bald eagle.
