Yesterday, we were out on the porch doing a few chores – really, timing is everything – and I heard a screechy bird call. It reminded me of the sound from the bald eagle we saw last year. I stopped everything and searched the neighboring trees and, sure enough, there was a bald eagle on top of a very tall fir tree on my neighbor’s property. He was quite vocal! We watched him for a long time. Eventually. Don crossed the street to look more closely and he returned with the news that there were two eagles up there!
Well, I had to fetch my big girl camera.
I cropped the heck out of this, so you could see them.
Magnificent!
We have a river right across the street, so that’s why we see them. If we hadn’t been outside at precisely the right time, we wouldn’t have known they were there. So grateful.
Don is filming today. He’ll be working on a set in Brooklyn, so he took off early this morning.
I’ll be potting a few more flowers today.
Pru is dressed up and ready to party.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
Wow! That’s a wonderful sight to see!
Glad that Don’s working again – I bet he is happy to be back at it.
Happy Wednesday to you too, Claudia!
Thank you, Ellen!
Stay safe.
Magnificent and majestic…how lucky to have seen those two incredible eagles! Hope you and Don have a great day.
Thank you, Barrie!
Stay safe.
You are right…it’s all about timing, as are many things that occur in our lives. Still a terrific pic. Thanks for getting out your big girl camera.
We visited two nurseries yesterday. I had a gift certificate, so I thought maybe I could get some perennials. And I did. I’m excited to plant them today, but will need to make more nursery trips to get annuals for my containers.
I’m sure Don is excited to be working again….I really hope this is a new beginning for him. Enjoy your day…and planting! ;)
Thank you. Donnamae.
Stay safe.
what incredible creatures!!! so glad you and don were in the right place at the right time and could see them. thanks for going back inside for the camera to take such a detailed photo for us.
too fancy for me, but i still love the fabric on little pru’s dress.
and i’m so pleased for don to have more work. i hope this job has a big ripple effect for him and for you, the start of something (else) great for the two of you.
there are eagles occasionally seen in the metro area, usually by a pretty little lake on the edge of downtown, also along the mississippi riverbanks. here, at my parents’ deck, we see lots of blue jays, cardinals, doves, three kinds of woodpeckers and starlings. also lately a couple of huge crows. earl and pearl, merle, too. deer. and more recently red-winged blackbirds have returned, also robins on deck. finches, chickadees, and the occasional canadian geese and (once) two mallard ducks. and pretty birds with a funny name … brown-headed cowbirds. they’re all beautiful in their own ways and we love watching them.
hope your hand is feeling better and that you and don have a great, easy day. same for everyone else here and around the world. stay safe in every way.

My hand is about the same. I have to hunt and peck while writing this.
Thanks, Kathy.
Stay safe.
I love Eagles. I watch a pair in Big Bear Calif and they are amazing. Fun to have them local. Enjoy your day potting plants. I’m still unpacking and sorting…will it never end???
We’ve been to Big Bear. Lovely.
Thanks, Linda.
Stay safe.
What a fabulous picture! Timing is everything.
It is!
Thanks, Cathy.
Stay safe.
Spectacular photo!
Thank you, Betsy.
Stay safe.
Just magnificent to see the eagles! It’s been in the sixties today so I managed to clean all my patio pots of the weird moss- like stain and planted out some alpines.
Happy Wednesday
Hurrah!
Thanks, Dee Dee.
Stay safe.
Wow — unbelievable. Just fantastic — I’d love to see that.
Thank goodness I have a special lens for this kind of thing.
Stay safe, Jeanie.
Your bald eagle photo is spectacular. It must have been so exciting for you and Don to see them. Pru is ready for her party. What a lovely little dress. Hugs, Elaine
Thanks so much, Elaine.
Stay safe.
Wow, you don’t see that every day and how lucky you were to have seen them! I’ve only seen eagles in the wild once on a drive in western Wisconsin along the Mississippi. You really don’t realize how big they are until you see them in person.
Take care,
Kay
They’re huge!
Stay safe, Kay.
