Well, now I can say with proud: Yes, I have seen them here and they actually DO LIVE in the neighborhood!
I was doing the laundry upstairs, looking out of the bedroom window when I saw 2 big birds circling the sky not too far away.
Olivia came into the room and I told her that these are the birds (and I thought of hawks or such) that make this 'peeeeep' noise that she heard on 'Go, Diego! Go!' when I realized that these birds I looked at had a white head and a white tail!
Could that be our nation's symbol, the bald eagle?
I let everything fall, ran downstairs, grabbed my camera, got outside onto the patio and was able to take some pictures, right before they disappeared out of my backyard's view.
So I raced to the front yard through the house, still watching the birds.
I ran over to my neighbor Greg's house (he's working from home) and made strange motions with my arms towards the sky. Greg saw me being crazy outside his house and came out. He has never seen bald eagles in freedom as well!
So we were just in awe looking as the birds disappeared into the open space. We both thought that these must have been the mighty birds but just the internet brought me security:
This is the same shot as the above, just cut out the birs for better view.
This is the internet picture.
Of course Chris did not believe me when I told him that I saw bald eagles and I told him that I posted pictures on facebook and that he should take a look at them.
He did not return and after 10 Minutes I did go into the study and said:
'Well, what do you think they look like?'
His comment:
' Of course they are bald eagles.'
Yessssssssssssssssss!!
