Lucked out. Made my day. But, I made some of that luck myself. I was driving past the lake ~2:25pm today when I saw two large, distinctively colored birds perched on the ice. Kind of had a hunch that they might be eagles. So, I TURNED AROUND, came back, parked across the road & walked over.

One the eagles took off when it saw me approaching — though I was a good 400 yards away (or thereabouts). The other one stayed, oblivious.

I have seen bald eagles before, in N.H., Maine & Arizona. But, it is always a TREAT. I was happy. Glad I turned around.
