One day, as I was driving...I saw out of the corner of my eye a huge black blob in the top of a tree, off to the side of the highway...I glanced up and with a fucking shock...saw it was a mature bald eagle...
Now I have seen mature golden eagles sitting on fences and shit, but never a bald eagle, in the wild, sitting in a tree....
As soon as I could I whipped my car around to back track back to the eagle tree....as I approached the same spot, the eagle took off in flight...It was like he was waiting for me to come back around so I could watch him slowly take off...
His huge wing span, white tail, white head...and his flight was effortless, beautiful, quiet....the top of the bird food chain...the symbol of our great country...taking flight...
Wow, to be an eagle....so majestic, so beautiful, so reverent, so breath taking, so American....
