I saw an amazing sight this morning.

Posted on 12/22/2013 12:10:02 PM PST by Zionist Conspirator

On the way back from the store this morning, I saw a fully grown, wild bald eagle sitting in the middle of a field near where I used to live. This is absolutely the very first wild bald eagle I have ever seen in my life (I saw a captive one at school once). Unfortunately I didn't have a camera, but . . . wow!

You know, sometimes when everything is going to pot and I'm tempted to just give up, something like this happens. It's a reminder that however totalitarian the left becomes, they can't control or social-engineer nature. Nature just goes on and on, absolutely unchanging and beyond the schemes of any human beings.

I suppose their powerlessness over nature is one reason the libs beat their chests so loudly and claim to be "lovers of nature." They might as well, since they can't do anything about it. So they just tell themselves they don't want to socially engineer the natural world as they double down on forcing us to live in a sewer. I mean, really . . . they couldn't change nature if they wanted to.

To that eagle--to all G-d's creatures--the world is going along as it always has since the Creation. The schemes of evil men have no power over them. For all the loud "nature loving" the left does, I think it is we who need this lesson the most. Nothing has really changed. All the totalitarian measures in the world cannot change the way things are, or alter the laws of G-d.

Good to remember sometimes.

All you folks that haven’t seen them, just head to mission BC. There are hundreds along the water right beside Highway 7. Years ago while hangliding I had one slip in underneath my left wing. That was the closest look I ever had at one.

A bird lady at work would always correct people when they called a North American bird a buzzard.

I can hear her saying “they’re vultures not buzzards”
Buzzards aren’t native to No.Amer.

Kind of like swallows:

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don’t know that.

Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?

King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king, you know.

I was driving to Topeka one day and as I was leaving KC I crossed the Kansas River at 18th Street Express way and a HUGE Bald Eagle Swooped down and essentially did a Drive By to all the cars on the Bridge and then flew off to the small island in the middle of the River.

It was pretty darn cool I must say, I only wish I would have had my Camera.

Falcons and Eagles, they are both quite regal.

Junipers aren't cedars either, but we still call them "red cedars." They'll always be turkey buzzards (and black buzzards) to me. And I'm always thrilled to see one alit.

One of the advantages of living in rural country here in north central Florida is all of the wildlife my wife and I see on a regular basis. We live on 25 acres and are raising beef cattle in our retirement. We have two American bald eagles that live on the property at the top of an old oak tree. We have a lake house 10 miles away and also have one that lives at the top of a dead pine tree there. These photos are of the eagles that live here and that I took myself. Wonders never cease. They are beautiful and majestic birds. Enjoy.  photo BaldEagleCompilation_zpsec055d5f.jpg

I was out duck hunting on the river one day and had a pair flying over me for a while.

I've seen Bald Eagles flying down a creek bottom...while sitting in a tree stand 50 yds from them. And that's here in OK....

They winter here mostly...but we have some breeding pairs.

Of course the wind mill industry can legally kill so many a year...and the Sierra Club, USFG, and PETA have no problem with THAT!

It’s 30 miles away & you’ve never been? I know how that is. :-) Shame on us, though. The BF that turned me on to them used to restore wooden boats. I imagine he still does. (His family had a place at Lake Travis, though- not Buchanan)

I wish to thank everyone again for the kind words and beautiful pictures.

I'm hoping that they become more common here. But as of now, my seeing one yesterday was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I’ve seen one at the intersection of 1431 and Lohman’s ford road in Lago Vista. I was at CVS and heard the screech, looked up and there was one soaring about 100 ft up.

I have seen wild bald eagles twice. The first time was when I was on the Seattle waterfront. It was a semi-cloudy day, and the eagle was doing circles about 150 over the pier I was having lunch at. Other people noticed and started taking pictures. Wish to heaven I had a camera.

The second time was this last summer. Beautiful July day. I was in my back yard (south of Tacoma) and saw it flying over a neighbor’s house. I called my kids to come outside and they managed to get a good look at it before it flew away. They were singularly impressed.

Up here in Minnesota Bald Eagles are very, very common. They even inhabit park areas within the Twin cities metro are proper. I have seen them flying right down median of crowded freeways smack in the center of Minneapolis!

A couple years back our family was heading up north for a winter vacation in the Boundary Waters, which is on the Canadian border. During the drive we saw numerous instance of Bald Eagles feeding on road killed deer. I had no idea they would do that! It would be a huge, grand eagle standing on top of the carcass with a ring of crows waiting dancing around and maybe a fox or two sniffing around.

In Seattle they are called ‘Dumpster Chickens’, but that’s Seattle.

I live in West Tennessee near Memphis and have seen bald eagles occasionally. In my lifetime (56 years) I have watched the fauna change dramatically.

A lot more deer everywhere.

The arrival of armadillos.

Fire ants have come.

Coyotes are here now.

Cottontail rabbits have gone away...at least I don’t see them any more.

Foxes are all around now.

I’ve seen a pond full of mallards with their head’s cocked up at the tiniest spot in the sky...a spot that could be on ‘em in a second.
