Saw something in Evanston, Wyoming last Friday. There were clear cold sky's , 2 hours later we were having a nasty blizzard with lightning (only my second time of seeing that) and a bald eagle landed in the hotel parking lot, it was 2 or 3 hours after dark. A bald eagle after dark? In a lightning/snow storm? I know this cause I went ' Suze, check this out' and we both ran outside & stood there for 8 or 10 minutes in our slippers watching a lightning storm in a blizzard freezing our butts off enjoying one of mother natures best shows AND then the bald eagle landed in the parking lot. Just plunked down 20 or 30 feet from us on the pavement. Sat there for a while and then flapped off. Don't know where it was going in that weather.
Not as bad as I could be, not as good as I should be.

That's an awesome story harleyparts!! Its been about 25+ years since I saw my first bald eagle around here, went through all my childhood and young adult years without seeing one in the wild. I know some guys are tired or even p***ed at them but not me. But then again, I've never had a catch get grabbed by one and hung up in the electric wires or whatever. Too much of anything can be an issue...

There are two nests on power poles in Alabama on highway 68(?) between Decatur and I-65 at Wheeler wildlife area, we got to see the fledgings this year.
