OK, so I have seen a lot of really neat things this summer while we've been camping on the lake. I thought the sighting of the beaver may have been the most exciting but this afternoon I was sitting at the computer copying some ancestry stuff to share with my sister when I happened to look out the window and much to my surprise I saw what looked like a bald eagle. I couldn't believe my eyes! I saw it fly over the lake right in front of the RV and it appeared to fly to a group of trees nearby. I quickly grabbed my camera and out the door I went. It stood out like a neon sign and I quickly snapped a few photos before it flew away. I was so excited and shaking so hard I wasn't sure if any of the photos were going to come out. Below are the best ones. I think he had caught a fish in his talons and he flew to the tree to devour it before taking flight again. How cool is that??? The only other time I have seen bald eagles in the wild was in Texas when we had 3 that came every year to nest and raise their young in a big nest in a nearby town. I still can't believe I saw this one today. It was like I was meant to look up just as it flew by. What were the chances I would see it and it would land in a nearby tree long enough for me to take some photos. WOW!
he had a big white tail too!
