Well, it flew right over the car, and not that far above us and I could plainly see that it was a Bald Eagle. It was beautiful. Glorious. Spectacular. I watched it in awe for a few seconds until it was out of sight. The last time I saw one of these majestic birds was on a field trip with one of my children - and that was many, many years ago, in NY. It may seem strange to write about a bird on a petblog mostly about dogs and cats, but sometimes one has to share experiences. This experience was the highlight not only of my day (far beyond the 'shopping' expedition), it is, so far, the highlight of our moving to Colorado, after being nearer family, of course. One doesn't see an American Bald Eagle every day. According to American Bald Eagle Info, the Department of the Interior removed this bird from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants, in 2007. Still protected by the Migratory However, I did find a fascinating website that sells American Eagle products such as jewelry, books, CDs and more. Even T-shirts. There are a lot of amazing pictures on this site, and even a link to videos. Very kewl, if you ask me. I stand officially as a fan of the American Bald Eagle, and of wolves. Of course, I could go into my fondness for horses, too, but I won't. I hope I see the eagle again, sometime. It was a sight to behold. For sure. |
