Bald Eagles!!!

On our way to the store this morning, Aaron wanted to take a little detour to follow a train. I am SO glad I did what he wanted because we got to see TWO real, wild bald eagles!!!

Both eagles in the tree.

I've only seen wild eagles one other time almost 2 years ago, but this time was even more exciting because 1) they were sitting still in a tree not too far from the road, and 2) I had my camera with me! I got several pictures, including some of each of them flying away. We must have watched them for at least 45 minutes before they left.

Now that I know we have bald eagles that visit so close to where I live I will be watching for them more regularly...and keeping my camera with me just in case.

    1. The first time I saw them is what started the process that led me to taking on my life in a new way. There is definitely a power that comes with the presence of eagles, particularly bald eagles. I was so excited to see these two beautiful birds. Aaron didn't quite understand what the fuss was about. He kept calling them penguins. :)

    2. Penguins... Bald Eagles... I can see the similarities, no not really. He is in such a wonderful stage right now. Enjoy it, and keep writing it down.
