Bald eagles!

Bald eagles don't nest around here, but occasionally (rarely, actually) we'll see them passing through. Late Saturday afternoon, hubby called me on his way home, saying he'd seen some and asking if I wanted to take pictures of them. Of course I jumped at the chance, since I'd only seen ONE in my life before (last year right in our own trees here, in fact). So he picked me up and away we went. They were only a couple miles from our home. I did manage to get some decent pictures, considering I was trying to hurry, fearing they'd fly away, and the battery was low in my camera, so it was sluggish. But even if I hadn't gotten photos, I'd have been excited just to have seen them! There were about 8 of them.
