All of that sounds really cool to me. I have seen bald eagles twice in my life. Once was down around Solomons Island when I was crabbing. All the seagulls on the dock took off all of a sudden and I sat there wondering why. Then I saw the eagle circling in the sky.
The other time was while I was on my way up to Baltimore on I-95. I saw the eagle on the other side of the highway and I saw it come down and land somewhere over there around the on/off ramp. So, I went up to the next ramp and came back down to where I thought it was. I ended up finding it on top of a tree and watched it go from tree to tree. I never would have expected to see that eagle there. I was dumbfounded, but happy too. Something tells me that most of the people driving down I-95 that day would never have seen it because they are never looking for it.
Doesn't it amaze you that a lot of people wouldn't find it the least bit interesting to hear about an eagle trying to catch a red tailed hawk. SAD.
Skeet, keep the pictures and stories of sightings coming. Hopefully, I will be able to get out there soon and have some of my own.
