Our National Symbol

The other day hubby and I were getting on I-4 and I saw a Bald Eagle!  I was so upset that I didn't have my camera and we weren't in a good place to pull over to attempt to use my cell phone camera.

Then today hubby and I were out and about with camera in hand just in case I saw some fun Halloween or fall decorations.  We were on our way home and cruising close to a lake and there it was, another Bald Eagle!  I was so excited and yelling to hubby "pull over, pull over"!  Talk about driving under pressure. LOL  We pulled off the road and I jumped out of the car!  He or she was sitting high, about 100ft away, over looking Lake Conway.  I started snapping while I could hear the birds behind me crying because this powerful bird was too close for comfort!  He didn't sit still for long, but it was a beautiful sight to see.  I thought with the election close by this was a perfect time to see a Bald Eagle.
I found a couple of websites with some great information about the Bald Eagle, our national symbol.

I have to tell you that seeing our country's national symbol at this time has really lifted my spirits.  Seeing two Eagles in five days is a sign to me that everything will be okay, we're strong!
God Bless America!






He was fast and at this point about a 180 ft away!
Breathtaking!
