Excitment on my homestead this morn
I was in the bathroom and heard a loud HONK from outside. Go to the window to see what's up and an eagle was dragging a goose out of the water. It then sat there on the creek bank for the longest time stuffing itself. Wow! My Neighbor is big into nature/birds so I called her right away and she came over to watch too. Feel badly for the goose (and never thought an eagle would go after something so big) but what a sight we got to see. So cool!
I really want a digital camera with some awesome zoom capabilities. If I took pics with what we had you would have seen just a blob.
Wow!Last edited by Darlene; 08-01-2008 at 08:00 AM.

Wow, what kind of Eagle?In Ohio growing up we hardly saw Canadian geese, now they are there in the thousands. Have you seen an increase in native animals?I know we have a lot of hawks here in the city and one time one got a crow. All the noise from the other crows, could have woken the dead.LOL
