Wow ...

I just watched a bald eagle dive into the lake and come out with a beautiful bass , then fly directly toward my house with it, and up over the lanai. Often they will stop on someones roof to reposition the fish or get a better grip on it so they can get it high up into the tree tops where they nest.It was awesome to watch .

It was about 70 here today -we are supposed to have a couple warm days then goto more seasonal low 70's for a while. one of our friends who lives down the street is in Ohio for the holidays and they can't wait to come back. -7 is so awfully cold - what a terrible winter you all are having! It has been more rainy and overcast here than i can ever remember it being but the temperatures are holding so far. sometime we will be threatened with a possible frost and have to bring all our potted plants into the garage. Goodday -two thumbs up on that one.

Happy Housewife, Sounds Wonderful. We also have eagles fly over and catching fish. We hear them in the trees calling out to the other eagles.

Yesterday we were outside, and about two dozen Canada Geese flew over us in the V formation headed north. They should head south to stay warm. Maybe they have a nice hang out somewhere around here to rest, or a place to stay until it gets warmer in the North.

I know everyone loves Nature doing its dance of life, while we watch.

I just love when that happens. I stop whatever I am doing to watch and listen.

Happy new year to you Sparrow!

Wrong - it doesn't get dark here til about 5:30Pm. About 4:30 are when the eagles and the osprey really get active - a last ditch effort before it gets dark . They dive many times and come up empty before they luck upon a catch.

Mersha, I do the same as you....I hear them ...everyone of them are cheering on the leader to keep going....and I hear them, and run outside and look up. I love those Big birds.

Happy New Year and wishes come true for you!

Thanks, Sparrow!

You are truly one of a kind and I am glad that you are posting more.

We have two trees in front of our house where an eagle couple nest. When they are in town, it's fun to watch them.
