Sometimes you see something that just makes you feel good inside

I was on my way back from dropping my dog off at the physical therapist. I was probably two miles from the house when I saw the biggest bird I've ever seen circling. I knew it wasn't a buzzard or crow, way too big for that. When I got a little closer the sun glinted off its white head and tail.

It was a bald eagle.

Just a mile or two from my house. How cool is that? When I was a kid there were serious doubts that the bald eagle would survive. Now I saw one, not in a raptor center or a wildlife rehab center, but in the wild.

I just had to tell someone. It made my day...

1. Yeah they ARE impressive

There is a place to go on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where you can see bald eagles...But a couple of years ago I saw one at a lake near my mothers house in the suburbs of DC!!
They have made an astounding comeback..:)

3. I used to live on Adak in the middle of the Aleutian Islands...

there is a HUGE population of Bald Eagles, there.

We had a big cliff behind our house that was full of nesting Eagles -- they are amazing to see.

I love Eagles!

4. I was once driving to another city. I saw huge flocks of geese one after the other

and it blew my mind. Nature can truly do that sometimes.
