Pohlman Field

Bald Eagles of Beloit Wisconsin

A flock of Bald Eagles have taken up residence in Beloit Wisconsin above the Rock River near the confluence with Turtle Creek and only a couple blocks from downtown. This video shows a short two-block walk from downtown to the river and captures seven Bald Eagles feeding from the Rock River. It shows three instances of them flying down to get a fish from the river. And at minute marker 6:00 you'll see I've been able to capture seven in a single frame.
The video is a simple flip video and does not do justice. They're simply amazing to watch. Hope they stick around.

Xtra Points: Previewing sectional baseball and state softball

The busiest Tuesday of the high school sports calendar is here. Sites hosting sectional baseball will host three games, with a trip to the WIAA state tournament on the line, and we've got a handful of area teams in action.

Janesville Craig and Janesville Parker will play at the Beloit Memorial Sectional at Pohlman Field in Beloit. The crosstown rivals square off at 11 a.m., and the winner will play the winner of Madison West and Verona in a sectional final at 5.

In Monroe, Whitewater and Evansville will play at 1 p.m., and the winner will take on the winner of an earlier game between Lodi and Dodgeville in the sectional final at 4.

Gazette sports editor Eric Schmoldt and writer John Barry get together a little earlier in the week than usual to preview those sectionals, but also to talk about Delavan-Darien's run to the state softball tournament and a couple teams in girls soccer sectional play, among other things, in this week's episode.

Our theme music is Rock Hybrid by Kevin MacLeod. Find more of his work at his website.
