More than a pair of Eagles heh?

Just another weekend at the Bow House…..almost. We had new visitors. Two of them. A pair of bald eagles came to roost about 75 feet from our house, in perfect view from our picture windows! This is the first time we have ever seen a pair of eagles on our property. They were there for almost an hour, and of course I said to Debbie…”you know who that is, don’t you?” She said “of course, its your Mom and Dad…. Margaret and Barney coming to see the progress on the house.” I said “Yep.”
For what it is worth we all know one can believe anything you want. We both believe there is something to this and we will leave it at that. Interestingly, I can still hear my Mom saying how much Bald Eagles “fascinated her." She said that all the time. She thought they were great and often just said “Ooooooh!” when I would mention them! It was really really cute.
Center pic shows eagles in upper left corner of our center picture window.... two black shapes side by side. By the way, these eagles are a nesting pair and their nest is located straight out from our picture window about 1/3 of a mile away, and is very visible during the winter months… see pic. We’ll be watching them this winter, and keep thinking how incredible this is going to be to have this kind of "NatureWatching" outside our windows! Wish I had a high end spotting scope…. We will one day.

Hey Don & Debbie, I couldn't agree with you more. Barnie & Margaret watching on,& a perfect spot to watch over you & your home. Your Mom was in awe of the bald eagle. She told me of the web cam they had set up to watch the hatching of the eagles eggs. She was real excited.Your view is perfect, I can see why you chose the site.Take care,don't work to hard, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks pretty as a picture!
