We see bald eagles on a pretty regular basis on the homestead. Me and the boys got closer to one than ever today. This afternoon we were walking in the woods along the Meramec River and we saw this giant bird fly over head. It circled back and came in really low passing us and landing in a nearby tree.
It was the closest I've come to a bald eagle. And then I saw the nest in the tree where it landed. It was a very big nest. A few seconds after turning off the camera, it flew down to the nest. I didn't see any other eagles around and I didn't want to get any closer and possibly disturb the eagle from the nest so we left.
But earlier in the week I had commented at my parents house nearby that I kept hearing the scream of an eagle. We hear them all the time back on the homestead. And sure enough while out taking my boys for a walk, there it was!
