OT - I saw a Bald Eagle today!

In the middle of town. My city has about 50,000 people. We have some eagle nests out east where there are fewer people, but this was the first time I’ve ever seen one in a busy neighborhood at all, let alone around lunch hour when traffic is heaviest. I heard him before I saw him, and I looked up to see him perched atop a utility pole across the street from my duplex.

Not the greatest picture, but it was the best I could do with a point-and-shoot camera!

    Wow that's pretty cool! And how convenient that you had a camera with you!

    Well, the bird was right across the street from the house; it's more luck that I remembered where the camera was! R tried to take a photo on his iPhone, but he couldn't get close enough, and my phone doesn't have a camera. I was only able to get the shot because of the landscape function on the digital camera.

    I doubt it'll stick around long; unless it's poaching from a bunch of koi ponds, there isn't enough fish to sustain such a big bird in town, and there aren't many eagle-nest-friendly trees in town either. More likely it was just exploring.
