Eagles

So living in Washington (and right on the water) it is very pretty here, nice views and lately with the nicer weather I have been seeing some very big birds... Eagles!

I was so excited the first time because I have never seen one outside of a Zoo or a Rescue. I was walking Essy behind these condos just down the street (they have the better grass) and I happened to look up and there it was, perched on the corner. The Eagle looked huge even from that high up and I couldn't imagine how big it would have been right next to me.

As Essy and I got closer and started walking underneath it I noticed the Eagle starting to crane its head, it was watching my dog... uh oh...

I'm pretty sure it wanted to eat her. I giggled at first and then thought... what the HECK would I have done had this giant bird swooped down to bring my dog to its nest?

I started walking her faster so she could get out of its eyesight, I guess I would have held onto her leash for dear life and gone along for the ride!
