The Eagle Who Visited For A Week

Living very close to the middle of nowhere has quite a few perks.  One of the most surprising, for us previous city slickers, is the amount and variety of bird life we get to witness. 

We have all the usual suspects; crows and seagulls and sparrows, and we get some more unusual species; herons and osprey and turkey vultures, to name a few. But the eagles are far and away the most majestic. 

For one week last month, this mighty bald eagle showed up at our neighbours house for a snack each morning.  Now, we certainly do not condone feeling wildlife, but these little visits made for some amazing up close experiences, and some great pictures!
