Thank you Rev. Up until last year my home, well my Dad's home, backed up to deep woods. I saw many deer, foxes and we had a family of hoot owls living back there as well. I saw the owls several times. One night when I was standing on my front porch one of the owls swooped across my front yard at about eye level. That was a big bird.
They mowed down the woods and are developing a new subdivision now and all the critters, including the owls are gone. Sunday I saw a bald eagle. It was soaring around in circles over my neighborhood for a couple of hours. Sometimes it would make huge circles and almost disappear, then it come back and make tight circles, sometimes only tree-top high. I got many good looks and it was definitely a bald eagle. That was the first I've ever seen that wasn't in a zoo, and I live in Georgia. I didn't know there where any bald eagles here, but I reckon they can pretty much go wherever they choose. Now that was a BIG bird.
