Re: TAPS
Although eagles are huge birds, they are suspicious creatures. For several months, I couldn't get within 250 feet of them, but as they got used to us being there, I was able to get closer. I found it odd they were interested in watching me, but they were fascinated by my dogs roughhousing with each other. A year after I was there, it was not uncommon to get within twenty feet of them in a tree. We had never been a threat to them and they knew it.

Re: Good morning
I loved watching them and how they played their various social games. The older birds definitely ruled the community roost!

I've always been a bird watcher but I've never seen one of these up close. Where I used to jog each day on the bluff over the Missouri River there was woods on the bluff side and houses on the other side. Quite often I would see a big hawk in the top of a tree watching me. It was eerie, like he was wondering if I was edible or something.
