If that wasn't enough to evoke feelings of connectedness with nature, one look overhead certainly did!
For there above us was an eagle! I didn't know at the time what kind it was, but I knew immediately
it was one I'd never seen before. It stayed a good, long time flying low before spiraling higher and higher
until it could no longer be seen, and we stood in awe watching it. I couldn't wait to get home to identify
it! I learned it was a Golden Eagle. Not completely uncommon to this area, they are rarely seen.
While researching Bald Eagles several years ago, I leanred that juveline Bald Eagles closely resemble
Golden Eagles and are often interchangably mistaken for each other, so I had to make sure my research
was thorough to be correct in identifying this bird with certainty.
It's with great joy that I share several images of this Golden Eagle.
