A bald eagle eats near Merrifield as a light snow falls.
A bald eagle eats Tuesday April 4, 2023, on the side of Highway 3 as a winter storm moves into central Minnesota. The majestic birds will sometimes present themselves on roadsides for a quick meal.
I was raised on a farm in western Minnesota where I participated in 4-H, high school sports, and everything that farm kids do for fun after chores. Graduated from Ridgewater Community College with an AA degree and my first taste of newspapering. I worked a summer on the Ortonville Independent as a reporter and photographer.
