A Surprise in the Sky

We were riding home this afternoon
when D spotted a flock of Canada Geese
flying over the road from the cove.
I missed seeing them but as I glanced
out of my window, I saw a large dark winged
bird gliding by... not realizing just what it was.
D looked over and exclaimed,
"That's an eagle!"
He quickly pulled over and I hurried out of the
car and somehow managed to get several photos
and here is one...


Have you ever seen eagles in your
area?
It was very exciting!

Woah!!!!
No eagles in my area (London, UK), you have to go much further north...

Lori ann and Nathalie,
I'm still thinking about that eagle...
it wasn't there for very long and it was amazing that we happened to be there at that moment and look up as he was flying overhead.

Hi Nan, doesn't it give you a little thrill to see them? The Bald Eagles are coming back in our area, along the rivers anyway.

What a great shot!
I don't think I've ever seen an eagle around here. I think it was serendipity that you happened to be in the right place at the right time!

Marnie,
We were so thrilled to see that eagle and before we knew it, it was out of sight!

Judy H,
Thanks and it sure did seem like serendipity!
