in my BackYard

[dleo6446]

My wife and I were sitting in my rod building rooma nd looking out into the yard when she said that she sahttp://w that owl land in one of the trees across the creek from us.  I went out there and it certainly wasn't an owl.  Much much bigger than an owl and at first all I could see was the back of the bird.  She went inside to get a camera and when she came back it turned watching us, and the dogs, hungrily....

I did manage to get off one shot with the camera before it flew away, at about 60 to 80 yards, sorry for the bad shot but photography wasn't a gift to me with camera in hand....I got a close enough look at her to tell that this was one big bird, just guess it's wingspan at 4 to 5 feet when it flew away.  according to what I saw and found on the internet, it looks like a Golden Eagle....anyway, some of you may know exactly what it was, certainly not a hawk, much much bigger than any hawk I have ever seen....

I don't know, it could be an Eagle I guess. Do you have a Cat? You might want to keep it inside for a few days...
