Hello Williams
I must read you letter and the sightings many times,and must say it makes
me feel good,to read something so special in experience to see all this
many Eagles sitting in trees.For some reason we can overlook this birds
some time to take them for granted. Something comes in mind there ,you
seeing there so many Eagles where you never used to see them,ore see one
Eagle real close up as i did on the Walla Walla Delta River. It was real
early in the morning getting up looking around and this Bald Eagle sitting
there already looking down on to me. I expected he would fly of,but instead
this bird was sitting and never got botherd by my presence. I was all
alone with this giant like bird when you this close this was a special ,
so silent and so still that i will never forget.You reminded me of this
moment. This was a trip i took to see the Lesser- Black-backed Gull last
month.
