It is so amazing to see an eagle in flight. One of our neighbors caught this one on his security camera. The wing span was maybe 6 to 7 feet. After we talked about it this morning, a story about eagles popped up.
… Several different pesky birds are bold enough to sit on the eagles back and peck at its neck. Relentless, annoying, but the eagle stays calm. The eagle doesn’t flap, doesn’t fight, doesn’t waste energy, the eagle just does one thing – it rises. The higher the eagle soars, the thinner the air becomes. The those other birds? They can’t handle the altitude. Eventually, the bird gasps, loses strength, and falls off. Not because the eagle attacked, but because the eagle ascended. Let the annoying birds talk and peck. You don’t have to respond. Just keep going higher! They can’t follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. You don’t really need to engage, just elevate!

Thank you Anne! Just made the correction. I wasn’t sure and should have just posted ‘an Eagle’. We see them at the Round House, too. One flew over my car, sooooo close and as it was going by, I was too late to get a pic. HUGE birds.

Hi, Bonnie — Oh my goodness, that actually looks like a golden eagle in that image. The golden eagles are the ones that have the white patches on the upper side of their wings.
