On Saturday, May 27, as Chris and I drove from Pam and Bob's to the cottage we had quite the experience.
We were driving down the road on a beautiful sunny day and Chris says, "Hey, I think that is a bald eagle!". She was looking up through the windshield at an angle that I couldn't see.
A few seconds later, she says "It is a bald eagle and I think it is coming down". I registered nothing. Again, she says, "I think it is coming down!" Again, I'm not really that concerned.
And again, she says, "I think it is coming down!" so now I lean over to look through the windshield and "coming down" it was. It was probably 20 feet off the ground and coming down fast. I slowed the van down thinking we might collide when it leveled off just above the road and grabbed up a dead squirrel and flew off just feet from the van. Aghast, I looked at Chris and told her, "Next time you need to make it clearer to me that it is coming down!!"
While it was cool to be there, I am thrilled my dash cam was working so now you can see it at the original speed as well as very slow motion to get a better view of the eagle.
Enjoy!
