King of the skies: The return of the eagle The majestic sea eagle was on the brink of extinction just decades ago in Germany. Now, the birds of prey are making a slow comeback - the "Bird Man" of the Mecklenburg lakes helps by getting up close and personal. The man at the helm waves a dead fish over his head and yells, "Come get the eel!" His eyes have a roguish sparkle, and his grey walrus mustache resembles a permanent smile on his face. Fred Bollmann is the town of Feldberg's eagle ranger, a Grizzly Adams in camouflage gear, who skipped school as a child to go birdwatching.
