I have seen more bald eagles in the past 9 months than in the past 9 years - they must be getting frisky.

Photo #1: "Roll Cloud"...

My 10-year-old daughter once said, "Daddy, you have shown us several 'cold fronts' -- but, what does a 'cold back' look like?"

LOL!!! (...from the mouth of babes...)

Now there's a Viking Kitty dilemma.

Clinton said he was going to take the Eagle off the endangered species list around 98. We're holding our breath, and boy; they sure are endangered!

I saw at least 6 different Bald Eagles this summer while out fishing on 3 different lakes in SE/PA. Been fishing since the 60's and these were the first ones I saw on their own in the wild.

In two days of back roads driving, we saw one in eastern Oregon, and another one in eastern Utah. Early this summer, I also saw one in SW South Dakota, about 2 miles from our ranch.

That makes three in one year; normally we would, in comparable travels, see less than one/year.
