Knocking on doors yields some interesting information.
While on South Shore Drive in Lakewood, I was told by a resident near the boat ramp that she and her husband had seen a bald eagle sitting on a limb of tree in their lakefront yard.
It was eating a small duck.
Unfortunately, it was on the side of the tree away from the house, so a photo was impossible.
The homeowner did tell me that she had heard that someone on the West End had gotten a photo of it.
So, Crystal Lake-area residents, keep your eyes open and camera ready.
If you manage to get a picture of the eagle, please email it to McHenry County Blog so we can share it with readers.
Just spotted a male bald eagle fishing/hunting at Three Oaks on the lake.

Photo opportunity!
Saw a bald eagle Nov 2, 2013 by the Crystal Lake recreation lake area.
We were driving west on Rakow Rd. about 1/2 mile west of the intersection of Rte 31.
The eagle had been in a tree by the lake and took off over the road.
Beautiful bird!
