eagles

I don't consider myself to be much of a bird-watcher.  But, when it comes to bald eagles, well that's a different story.  And every winter, hundreds of bald eagles come and live near our home for a few months.  We love to drive over and see them.  They're amazing. 

Sometimes we just see one or two hanging out on the branches. 

Sometimes we'll watch one fly high above our heads.

Other times we see a few perched high in the tree-tops.

This golden eagle let us get about 15 feet away from him ...

before he stretched out his big ol' wings and flew away.

And when we're lucky we find 40 or 50 sitting in one tree alone.

Aren't they beautiful?
