Adventure Day

Here they are flying and then here is one of those bad boys just sitting around.

We have had a longest Christmas vacation ever. R was sick the entire vacation, making it impossible to get out and do much. We did not go tubing or swimming at the hot springs, or drive to Sun Valley and check things out. Feeling like the two weeks was slipping away we followed a tip from a friend of ours and went for a ride.
Our friend said he saw over 50 bald eagles in a tree. He gave us the directions. We had to wait a few days because of some snow stroms, but finally, we went on Saturday.
We did not see 50 eagles, we saw 9. Was it worth it? You bet. We found the tree and it only had 2 of them sitting there. Then a few minutes later, we heard the cry and about 6 more came from another location, soaring by. We saw one more in anther tree. We were no more than 20 miles from our house. Pretty cool way to end a vacation.
