Bald Eagle Sighting




While we were grilling some chicken for supper we noticed a beautiful bald eagle sitting in a tree directly in front of our house, down by the river. We gathered our binoculars and camera and sat there for atleast 15 minutes watching him and he watching us. Every time Monet yelled "Hi Bald Eagle" he would turn his head and look directly at us. :) I walked halfway through the field before he flew off and his wing span is just enormous.

I laughed right out loud when I read that part about Miss Monet yelling I bald Eagle!! Cute! I can hear her saying that. Must have been a really cool thing to see! Looks like he was a younger one, with the brown spots on the back of his head. Good eyes Sista!
