LOL @ 4JWY !!
Little Witch, I believe you. Holy cow, we have a lot of eagles in this state. We have a couple of them living down by the river here - which was odd when it happened because they usually don't come this far south. But sometimes the river doesn't freeze so they have fish to eat in the winter.
My family used to vacation for a week every year in the northern part of the state and up there they made a strong effort to save the eagles- and they did. The people who live on the lakes up there would go ice fishing just to throw the fish out onto the ice for the eagles. We'd see them all over the place up there.
One year when we were up there- at the cabin we rented each year- on the lake- there was a mother eagle teaching her eaglet how to fish. I was able to sit in the canoe and watch it for a while. She was so accustomed to people being around all the time that nothing fazed her. It was an awesome thing to watch. She'd get a fish and drop it in the water and then squawk at her baby and he'd dive into the water after it. She repeated this process many times. It was amazing- that mother -pretty much "bitching" at her youngster trying to help him learn to survive. It was one of the memories I'll keep with me forever.
k, pictures of "birds of a different feather"
I was standing in my driveway and thinking- this looks like something from a t.v. commercial !!
The lady in this couple couldn't understand why I was taking her picture and kept glancing back- LOL- I was waiting for them to ask me why I was doing that but they never did. They probably just thought it was some "persecution" of some sort once again .
I'm thinking that I best keep my camera handy today. Who knows what else I'll see
