At the water the tide was out so you could walk way out there, way way out there where normally it is covered with water so I had a beautiful magical relaxing walk out there. At one point I looked up in the sky and high above there were a couple of bald eagles above scouting along with some other birds.
Then…this golden eagle absolutely gorgeous massive golden eagle comes flying above me coming down lower and lower I watch him/her come so low above my head, right above me on my left it was sooooo beautiful went down further away from me and grabbed a big crab and began munching on it on the ground.
I began to slowly walk towards it then this man comes walking really fast on the left going to the golden eagle to get a photograph. Of course I got annoyed. He did scare it off a bit but it went back to eating once he went away so I proceeded to walk towards it getting pretty close but not to disturb it. Of course I inside I was thinking ah my camera! not to have brought my camera with me would have gotten an amazing shot but oh well. It was such a gift just to watch…aaaahhhh yes :-)
I have never seen one before it was so beautiful. Wow really beautiful. Larger than any bird I have ever seen. When it was flying above watching it sway and come down putting his claws out. Yeah :-)
My first Golden Eagle and with such a personal close look.
