The Eagle Has Landed

Today after dropping Shelly off at work, I was driving up our driveway and came upon the bald eagle sitting in our cottonwood tree. All that I could say was WOW!

Below are some pictures of the eagle:

The eagle is out on the branch to the right.

I must of finally spooked it as it took off and I was lucky enough to snap a quick picture showing some of its wing span.

As you know, last week while canoeing on the river we found the eagles nest. These birds are so beautiful and it is so hard to believe that they almost became extinct at one point in history.
