Is there anything quite as majestic as America’s beloved Bald Eagle? I’m honored to have the good fortune of seeing them fly down the Stillwater River by our cabin every day. They have continued to do it all Winter, passing us 2 or 3 times a day. I haven’t seen one of them dive down and get a fish, though I’m sure I will one day.
Also gracing us with their presence are the huge Golden Eagles, though not as often. But this week, the Golden Eagle seems to be stalking our house. Is he after a rabbit? A fish? One of my dogs? Yesterday afternoon, I saw him dive down at 5 Canadian geese who were happily floating on the river. The geese all fled at once, as the eagle dove almost to water level and then swerved back up. He didn’t grab any of the geese, so now I wonder… did he see a fish and the geese just happened to be in the way? Or was he after one of the geese?
