We went for a conference weekend walk along the Fox river (which runs through town here) this morning. Near the end of our walk, we spotted a bald eagle circling over head. Maybe he was looking for foxes or something. (Fox River, ha ha.) For me, it's the first wild bald eagle I've ever seen, except perhaps the pair the like to nest near the West Yellowstone entrance to Yellowstone. Except with those ones, they don't let you stop as you drive past, so all you can do is stick your nose up against the window and hope that maybe one of them sticks its head out over the edge of the nest. Anyway, it was neat.
Perhaps more surprising is the fact that it was Shannon who spotted it up there circling. I suppose I will have to give up my nickname of "eagle eye" for at least a day.
