Rare sighting

A few days ago, the hubby was out burning trash in the backyard and a friend of his pulled up and told him to jump in quick he had something to show him...

They drove just a 1000 yards or so down the alleyway, and saw this:
An immature Bald Eagle.

Seriously. See how some of the hairs on his head are just starting to turn white?

They even went up to a neighbor's house (the guy is a taxidermist and well known outdoorsman) and he confirmed it.
He said Bald Eagles have been migrating south for quite a few years. Guess they are finally here. We have them up near our camp (between Marienville and Tionesta), but to have them here? Now that's different.


The eagle had pulled a deer carcass out of the weeds and was having a private feast.
Todd came back to the house immediately and grabbed the camera.
The pictures aren't super, but you can certainly still tell it's an eagle.

Pretty cool, huh?
