I was standing at the window this evening, and I saw a big bird flying straight at the house. I thought, "Wow, what a big hawk - can't be a hawk - it's too big." As it got closer, I saw a white head. Sure enough, a bald eagle cruised right past the big windows as it headed into the west. What a totally incredible sight. I was on the phone with Kathy, and I just kept telling her, "Oh my gawd, this is just unreal. It's a bald eagle and it's flying past my house!" It was so fast, but so slow - she just soared on the wind, wings spread, as though it was effortless. I keep seeing it over and over again in my mind, wishing I had a camera to record every breathless second as she passed by each of the windows.
