This time I spotted the bald eagle.  The last time I passed its nest my wife sighted the bald eagle.  I didn’t.  Today when I passed the nest coming home opposite the highway, I looked really hard and there it was:  perched a few feet from its nest.  It was quite a distance away so the bird did not seem that big but its white head was unmistakable.  I am thrilled every time I see that majestic bird.  It did not seem so long ago it was an endangered species.

This was the first time I actually saw a bald eagle alight on his nest and disappear into it.  I assume that (??? was is ???) what it was.  It was definitely a big bird.  The nest can be seen on top of a tree on a cliff adjacent to the highway.  The foliage will hide the nest later on.  The trees were still bare.  When I passed the nest, I noted how close it was to the gas station and restaurant and on the way home I spotted the nest for the first time across the highway.
