Yet another reason why we moved to Bend...


THE BALD EAGLE
We have seen him perched on top of this tree by the nest for a month now. This tree is located on the golf course that we drive by every single day on the way to and from work. We have tried to get his picture and we either don't have the camera with us, or when we have the camera he is not there. Finally, this morning at 6:30am Chris called me from the cell phone to tell me he was there! So, I put on my snow boots, grabbed the camera and headed down. I had to jump the fence of the golf course, that was clearly posted "NO TRESPASSING" and I got as close to the tree as I could without scaring him away and this is one of the shot's I got. If you have ever been to our house, this is taken right next to the boat launch on the river by the bridge on the way to our house (Spring River Road).
