Nearly 200 eagles are spending the winter at a power plant along the shore of Lake Erie in Michigan. The birds are drawn to the factory’s warm water discharge that’s teeming with tasty fish as well as the seclusion of the wooded area nearby.
The Monroe Power Plant is a coal-fired power plant located in Monroe, Michigan on the western shore of Lake Erie, owned by the DTE Energy Electric Company, a subsidiary of DTE Energy.
Monroe Power Plant in southeast Michigan is the second largest coal fired plant in the United States after Georgia Power’s Plant Bowen near Cartersville, Georgia.
