    Eagle, Bald or Golden?

    One morning last December I looked out my window and saw this eagle sitting in the dead tree in my backyard. I’m sure this is a Golden Eagle. It was bigger than a Bald Eagle. It sat there all morning then flew away. As it glided across the lake the wingspan was unbelievable. Next morning it was...

    Stump grinding

    Ben, home remedies never seem to work. If you try to burn it out it may smolder for days. If it starts smoldering under ground you may have a problem. Tree services charge by the inch. My guess is between $100 or $200. You can also rent a stump grinder, may be around $75 or so for half a day.
