If I choose to fly like an Eagle, the Eagle will fly with me

It's wonderful when I experience a First Time, even at age 55
Thursday morning May 21, I was planting in the garden across the road. Occasionally I'd stop planting to watch the horses graze, the dogs play in the creek, and simply enjoy the serenity of the morning, when around 7am, an animal call I'd never heard before came from the woods. It didn't make me nervous, but curious.

After another call, I scanned the woods again and still saw nothing.
Walking back to the house suddenly I was in the shadow of something big. I looked up and saw a bird with a wingspan of 6-7 feet, over my head. At first glance I thought I was mistaken, when I saw gliding silently above a beautiful EAGLE.
But I wasn't mistaken, it was an EAGLE and it was visiting my little piece of the world. It landed and perched at the top of a poplar tree behind the house for about 4 hours.

Living here all my life and never seeing an Eagle grace this valley, I was elated and honored to witness this beauty.

I know Eagles are south and east not far from here, but in Colden?
Has any one ever seen an Eagle in the Colden? If so, let me know.
I feel like that moment was meant only for me. A sign that only I could read. It felt special and it was special...a great first time and I got the message.

If I choose to fly like an Eagle, the Eagle will fly with me!

NOTE:
In fear of making it fly away, I didn't get close enough with my little digital to get a good picture, but I took pictures with my 35 mm and zoom lens. I hope they turn out. When I get the 35 MM photos back I promise to share! (lets hope they turned out!)
