The other day I was in the driveway at my mother-in-law's house. She's over in Wildwood Village off Shore Drive in Laconia. I looked out the car window and leaped out of the car like my butt was on fire!!!!!! Here comes an adult bald eagle, flying LOW right up the open are of the street. I just stood there in awe - could not believe what I was watching. He flew directly over my head, no more than 20 feet off the ground, never flapped his wings once, just gliding on an unseen current. As he approached the end of the road he lifted up and glided over the trees. I watched him circle just over the treetops for about 15 seconds, then he flew on out of sight.

Boy oh boy was I at the right place at the right time! That is absolutely the closest I have ever been to one not in captivity - and believe me, I've spent a lot of time eagle watching. This moment in time will be with me forever. Wow!
