It was the first time my Dearly Beloved had seen one there and only the second time for me. It was very exciting. I would be dancing a jig if I saw one from our garden let alone in our garden.Lisa at Greenbowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-64194109043468339712008-03-12T09:37:00.000-05:002008-03-12T09:37:00.000-05:00Thanks everybody! I couldn't help but gloat a little. :) It was so exciting!<BR/><BR/>I asked my friend, who's more involved in Audubon, if eagles were nesting in this area. She in turn asked her eagle expert and got this reply: "The breeding eagles are becoming so widespread now that there could be a nest on any Alabama body of water." Yee-ha! We are near a couple of large lakes, so eagles may be increasing in the future. I sure hope so.<BR/><BR/>And the dove isn't really bad news, I don't think. One source I read said that they use a niche that isn't currently occupied.Ruralityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-42538150504111719922008-03-11T20:40:00.000-05:002008-03-11T20:40:00.000-05:00Wow, that's a great yard bird--can't think of anything that beats bald eagle seen from kitchen table!!ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-48099085980452209922008-03-11T19:58:00.000-05:002008-03-11T19:58:00.000-05:00How very neat!

Great to see your yard bird. The eagles fly over our yard very often. I photographed one just yesterday. It was low too, almost enough for me to make eye contact. But they never stop and sit in a tree. That would be AMAZING.robin andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-60265088871580891122008-03-11T08:56:00.000-05:002008-03-11T08:56:00.000-05:00What a wonderful surprise~ and yes, highly envied by me.
