Life's little smiles

Wife happened to be looking out the rear window of the middle bedroom a few minutes ago, just getting ready to go off to the nature center. Two mature bald eagles soaring over the park in the next block....

I got there in time to see them flapping away toward the river.

Two years ago, on the eastern side of Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, crossing from the direction of Pelee' Island toward Marblehead/Sandusky. And then last summer, along the Olentangy River park system in northern Franklin County headed toward Delaware.

I'd love to see a mature one in the wild, or better a pair, doing more than just passing from one place to another. I understand they're making a comeback in Ohio, so the chances are improving.

We see them fairly regularly here, with at least one breeding pair within a few miles of the house. One time, riding my bicycle, I had an adult eagle practically flying wingman, just cruising along at the same speed about twenty feet off my right shoulder as we headed down the road beside the river. He got bored after a mile or so and went fishing. Or chasing ospreys, after _their_ fish...
