This is Wilde Lake. We have a lovely view of it from our living room and dining room.
Last week as I was standing at this window on the other side of the apartment I saw a bald eagle fly by. We are on the 11th story so it flew at my eye level which was quite interesting.
Yesterday I walked around Wilde Lake and on the north side a woman told me that the bald eagle was in a tree on the lake. It was. What a lovely sight.
This morning as I sat at the dining room table I saw a bird swooping over the lake so I grabbed the binoculars and sure enough it was the bald eagle again. I watched as it landed in a tree then went for my camera.
These aren't the best pictures for sure.
Next time I'll try to do a better job steadying my hand.
...a rare sight for me...thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe more I see of your apartment the more I love. I would sit there all day admiring that view hoping to catch a glimpse of the bald eagle.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see a bald eagle flying at eye level! You have a lovely view from your apartment, especially with the fall colors around the lake.
