Related: About this forumi tromped around for the first time in a long time
took a walk the other evening in the hopes of catching some bald eagles. i spotted a few nests but no one was home, but it wasn't a wasted walk.
it was cold out
but that didn't bother the geese
this one shouted at me a few times for hovering. damned near sure it was a golden eagle.

May uncover last year's and year before's snow and ice pics as in my first winter at my 'cottage' 2 years ago, clearly proving I can LIVE here!!!

(31,404 posts)I don't know how I'd keep the blues at bay if it weren't for my daily walks with Snowy. Makes me start out
the morning with a much different view of the world.

In fact, I downloaded it. Thanks, Fizz!

I saw my first eagle back in the late sixties in Africa. I was awestruck.
