Many moons ago, taking a drive up the Great River Road in Illinois, during the winter, I looked over and saw dozens, yes dozens of Eagles on an ice floe. Catching fish and doing what Eagles do.

After reading more about Eagles subsequent to that observation, I have come to realize what a rare event that was. That really was some kind of wonderful!

By the way....Hi Neighbor!

Looking out the little window. A bald eagle swooped low over the roof, no more than 10' away. I could see each feather delineated...very cool.

We have many here on the coast of Maine. When I was building my barn, one night 3 pairs of hawks and 1 pair of eagles appeared, circling low overhead for several minutes. Then they peeled off in each of the 4 cardinal directions. Very cool...I thought it was a good omen.
