An aside: I don?t think I saw a bald eagle until I was well into my 20s. And make that an eagle of any kind. Maybe I simply wasn?t looking. But these days while I remark on seeing an eagle it?s not something that feels particularly rare. Driving down from Washington State after Thanksgiving I saw several bald eagles in Oregon and in northern California doing fly-overs of I-5 which was pretty neat. The joy of the season to you and your family!
