I have seen a bald eagle flying over the house for the last two days. What a huge and majestic bird. Anyone else ever see any around here?

Oh, my goodness! We have looked for them for months every time we cross over Western Lake. If we were to see one, I'm sure I'd cry like a baby.

Consider seeing such a sight a major gift from nature.

I can assure you we do. Our neighbor has been here for over 18 years, and was jealous that I had seen one. Apparently others in our neck of paradise have seem them, but she never has...

Today made two days in a row...

Today hubby saw a huge turkey in our back yard. It had its feathers all fanned out. Later he saw three huge deer by the front porch. Animal kingdom here, but not like seeing a bald eagle. I've seen deer in our yard many times, but never a wild turkey.

I see them fairly often around Western Lake and have seen them around Peach Creek/Choct. Bay

I saw one in the ICW over by Point Washington about 10 years ago, and another over Mallett Bayou near our house a few months later. Haven't seen any more since.
