Walking along the road here that follows a large creek, my friend and I heard a big rustling right to the left of us in the brush. We turned to look, and about 4 feet away right at eye level rises a Bald Eagle. As quickly as that, it flew off along the path of the creek. It was HUGE, and it was AMAZING.
They come around a couple times a year; I’ve seen one perched in a tall tree near my house, along my road, and flying across my fields. There is a river nearby (and an even closer creek right down the road) so I imagine that’s why they come around – perhaps there’s some good fishing!
