Today I went to feed. As I was coming back from feeding the bull, there was a large bird sitting on an old dead tree in the pasture. It immediately got my undivided attention because of it's white head. I couldn't believe it, but there was a bald eagle sitting in a tree on our farm. I'd never been close to a bald eagle in the wild. I drove as fast as I could to the house to get my camera. I started taking pictures from a distance, because I was afraid it would get scared and fly off. I was driving our Kubota, and was able to get close enough to get some great shots of this magnificent creature. Our great pyrenees frightened him once, and he flew to another tree close by. Cautiously, I drove as close as I could to get additional pictures. Again, our great pyrenees got too close to the tree and it flew off. This time I could not follow it. Bald eagles are not normally seen around this part of the state. I feel blessed to have gotten to the opportunity to see this bird so close.
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
You can't see it in the picture, but the eagle is perched close to the top of the dead tree.
