Appreciating the wildlife around us.

[Jenn]

When I read your thoughts on wildlife around us it made me think of the many times I have caught a glimpse of what you decribe. One particular moment comes to mind. My husband and I were on vacation a couple of years ago and it was about seven in the morning when we decided to take a ride onto the beach. It was a beatiful morning, no one else around, and the shore was more covered in sand eels than I have ever seen in my life!!! As we were reflecting on the ocean and our thoughts we happened to look over down the beach and I thought it was a dog, so we waited as it seemed to be coming closer. Much to our surprise when it finally stopped about twety yards away from us we realized that it was a young eagle feeding on the sand eels!!! What a great feeling it was to see such a rare sight and that close!! It was so HUGE but yet ever so graceful!!! Amazing!
