Yes folk's a lot of what I own as far as my collector items circles around our American heritage, "THE AMERICAN BALD EAGLE", and anyone who knows me , knows that this is my very favorite Bird on the planet. After moving to Florida 17 years ago, I found an even more love for the "EAGLE", as prior to that, I only saw the bird on T.V. , which was great an all, but it was nothing like seeing the bird in it's native habitat.
I can recall seeing the "EAGLE" for the first time while swimming in the pool with my middle boy, the Eagle litterly flew right over us. I could of splashed it with water that's how low it was flying at that time.
Second time I saw the "EAGLE" here in Florida was while my middle boy and I were fishing up on a lake near the house called "LAKE HARRIS". I actually wondered into the fishing grounds of the Eagle and then later found the nesting sight where it was hiding up in the trees. I 've found upon visiting that lake several other times that it was there and there often, although I never saw a baby Eagle, I knew that the nesting sight was a great place to get my fix of sighting the bird.
I'm sure if you look at my "HARLEY" you'll be able to tell just how much I love the Eagle, as my whole bike is decked out in nothing but the Eagles, as well is my riding vest and oh did I mention I belong to the "H.O.G." riding club which our symbol for our patches is the American Eagle.
Gee you can't tell I love the "EAGLE" can you?
The recent photo below is one I enjoy very much, because it marks the time of year where I get to see one almost everyday, reason being is we stay in a huge complex next to a power plant and almost every day this "AMERICAN EAGLE" comes and sits on one of the power poles.
Most people go all their lives without seeing this magnificent bird in the wild , yet here I am blessed to have seen this wonderful bird almost every day down here in Florida. So if your into bird watching and the "AMERICAN BALD EAGLE" is one of your favorite birds such as it is mine, then "FLORIDA" is the place to come see them.
Thanks for reading and do come down and enjoy our wildlife that Florida has to offer.
