Oh ALE. ANOTHER beautiful catch.

The other day as we were riding in our cart along 466 we saw two birds playing in the breeze way up high. One of them came down down down right in front of us....VERY CLOSE.

We could see his beak and his white neck and pantaloons and even his eagle eye.. He was UNCLE SAM. Our American symbol.

Wow.


We wished for you to have caught his picture suspended in flight.

It is captured in my mind's eye. It was so amazing.

probably a red shouldered hawk and not a red tail as it's tail feathers have a stripe instead of being red??

On Friday afternoon, I saw an eagle soaring and swooping over the Canal Strec center. Sure wish I could have taken a picture. They are just awesome!
