Feeding the Eagles

In January the weather was so cold that the bald eagles were cruising over our houses looking for hapless cats to make a quick meal. Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles down at Goose Spit so they would survive the cold spell. Here’s what happened!
A former teaching colleague took these photos in front of his home. They are incredible!

    Great sight indeed!

    Actually, my wife Deb, received an email that for somehow did not open the pictures...just the text. So she Googled some of the text and found the original website.

    I've been trying to get a picture of the eagle I saw one morning while camping out over at Fort Rucker. About daylight I saw this bird flying towards me from a distance. At first I thought it was one of the blue herons that frequent the area...it was about the right length from that distance...I thought. Then as it got closer and the color was definetly not blue and that which contributed to its length was a large clump of grass the eagle was carrying to (I assume) it's nest.
    As the bald eagle flew by me about twenty feet overhead he glanced down at me...dang me! where's my camera?
    I was out walking the dog at the time...now I take the camera out for whatever reason I'm outside!

    Just out of curiosity why would there be a sudden interest in this posting...not so much as an interest in eagles, but because all the visitors were from Massachusetts (one from Newington, Connecticut)...there were over 30 such visitors just today...and not far apart from one another.

    Heres just one example:

    I imagine there were more than the 30 or so visitors but my sitemeter only holds the latest 100 visotors.
