I use "think" because I know that they are rare in Michigan, and the bird was a long distance away. All I know is that I saw a very large bird with a white head sitting in a dead tree. My question is, are there any other raptors that are dark with white heads, found in Michigan that could be mistaken for a Bald Eagle, or can I be fairly sure and brag to my friends that I saw one?
