Eagle

As we were walking the dogs on the far side of the river this morning, Carole spotted a young bald eagle sitting in a birch snag on our property, back across the river. After a few moments, he flew off casually to the southeast, low along the river. Huge. I’ve seen eagles flying higher up, but because this one flew so low, with the trees as background, we had a better sense of scale. Huge.

    Eagles always surprise me. I expect birds to be little darts of movement, too fast for my eyes to catch. But to see something as big as an eagle flying is almost to defy physics.
