Just though I'd share, a couple minutes ago someone was looking out the window only to see this (sorry about the gigantic pictures, but hey whatever )....

Awesome... Been a while since I saw one of them, and that was in a zoo.

about a year ago i was driving over a bridge and i look to the right and there is a bald eagle about 20 feet away flying next to my car, that was pretty awesome, ive also seen an albino deer in the local park, and a fox as big as a golden retriever, too bad i dont own a digital camera

Awesome pics!! They are so majestic.

Wow, beautiful bird.

That'* awesome.
In Minnesota they are thriving pretty well. There are about 6 nests' in the area that I am aware of ....one is less than 500 feet from my cousins lake cabin which is about 10 miles from me. Everytime I'm there a Bald Eagle flies over at no more than 50-70 feet up.

Yeah, I've seen them fly overhead before but never one that sat around like this. We have a bunch of pics of this guy since he was in the tree for well over twenty minutes-obviously enjoying some small creature for dinner. It was pretty unique to see one like that...I wish it was lighter so the pictures could be better but you can't have everything.

Jeannie are you in the woods or are they venturing toward civilization?

Or do you live in one of those area'* that you call civilization and the rest of us probably call the woods...lol

That'* probably the case. It'* all depends on your point of view. There'* quite a bit of undeveloped woods/land around, so I'm guessing this isn't an unusual place for this guy to be.
