New Year Omen

First thing New Year's Day, while we stood on the carport drinking a cup of coffee, contemplating the past year and discussing plans for the new year, we looked up and saw an American bald eagle fly across the sky. It filled us with joy to see that majestic bird and we took its sighting as a good omen for 2006.

Haliaeetus leucocephalus, you're welcome at our house anytime.

That's the coolest thing ever! Out here in L.A., I don't even see any bald PEOPLE.

Awesome. I have yet to see one of those here in FL. Supposedly they're pretty common now.

We've seen them in more rural areas, around rivers, etc., but never from our carport. This was an exceedingly rare event for us.
