Granny's gone and done it again

I was bummed about it but I got to see an eagle so was pretty happy with that. My first one ever. I wish Tom and Robert had been with me. They have never seen one either.

If it has a white head it's a mature bird as the I don't think they turn white until about 5 years old.
 
I got a brown rubber egg looks just like one of my hen's eggs. Going to slip into a box of eggs the next time Sherry gets some. :gig BUT first little feller is coming over in the am to help finish setting up and I may ask her I need 1 more egg white and would she please do it for me will I work on finishing the toasted snow squares.
sounds like a fun day planned out. I think everyone is cooking tomorrow .
 
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus, from Greek hali "sea", aiētos "eagle", leuco "white", cephalos "head") is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla). Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down and snatches from the water with its talons. It builds the largest nest of any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species, up to 4 m (13 ft) deep, 2.5 m (8.2 ft) wide, and 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons) in weight.[2] Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years.

Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of the word, "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown
