When we woke up this morning (minus our stolen hour), the torrential rain of yesterday had given way to cold, blustery sunshine, so we took a ride down to the Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, known for its resident bald eagles.
We were disappointed in our efforts to see eagles or any wildlife, with the exception of vultures, though. It seemed like the other animals were smarter than we were, and they sought shelter from the gusty winds. So, after a windblown hour or so, we headed home.
Not to worry, though. This afternoon, we watched four eagles ride the turbulence, diving into the creek and flapping away with small fish, all from the comfort of our living room.
I still want that hour back, though!
Our weather today has been just as you described yours, so I was right there with you (except I didnt venture out into any wilderness.) Your piece is leaving me to imagine what wonderful place you must live, to see eagles diving for fish right from your living room window!
ReplyDeleteAt least you don't have to drag yourself into work tomorrow- that's a nice way to deal with the theft of your hour.
ReplyDeleteWatching the eagles from the inside sounds better than braving the wind!
