Seeing each other

With the Upper and Lower Lakes frozen over, the section of Oswegatchie bordering it has become a hunting ground for this Eagle.



It has shown up just about every day for the past week or so, and is sitting in a tree overlooking the river.



I walked out on the porch to attempt to get a photo, but it immediately knew I was there and we looked at each other.

It decided to move on to a different spot, but as I've seen it in that same tree and on the same branch 4 days over the past week, I know it will be back.



It's quite an honor to be sharing the yard with such an awesome bird.
