An eagle this morning, flying over our house!

I don't remember ever seeing an eagle in real life. Yesterday, however, I was thrilled to see a red-shouldered hawk resting on a power line as I drove by.

The eagles' migration route takes them through Arkansas each year, and we usually get a view of one or two of them. This particular sighting was incredible because the eagle was so close to the house and so low--it literally took our breath away. Since I didn't grow up here, I'm still not used to the annual sightings, and I'm glad for that: I like that doesn't feel "normal."'

We seem to have hawks aplenty here, but I can't tell the different kinds apart. I get nervous when I see them swoop to the ground because I think a mouse must be in danger...! But they are gorgeous, without a doubt.
