Holy shit! A bald eagle just flew by my window!

First time I've seen one in the neighborhood!!

I've been meaning to ask you where you are in Alaska.
I spent a year in Ketchikan a little while back just to experience it, but it was too depressing for me. Way too much rain and not enough daylight.

I live in Anchorage. Currently it's 10:55 p.m. and it's still light outside. Which is how I saw the eagle.

Ketchikan is like one of the rainest places on the planet next to the Amazon. It's very pretty there, but I wouldn't like that much rain.

Here in Anchroage we have 17-1/2 hours of daylight on the longest day of the year. Makes everyone very peppy this time of year. lol

I would love to go back to Alaska to visit somewhere that's not so wet. Anchorage sounds like my kind of place. Ketchikan was beautiful, but raincoats aren't really a good look for me.

We don't get that much rain. But our temps in the summer aren't hot. I think the record breaker was 85 about 20 years ago. I don't think it's even hit 70 yet this summer, but we've had some really nice days. If you like hot weather, Anchorage isn't the place to go. Fairbanks gets into the 80's or 90's.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

I saw one for the first time ever (outside of captivity) on Friday at my son's daycare picnic! I was so busy staring up at it that I nearly walked into a tree, lol. I was stunned, they are rarely seen in my area, it was gorgeous!

[fluff]

I see them a lot where I live. They are beautiful!

I have a friend who lives in Unalaska and I have no idea how she does it. I'm sure Anchorage is a lot better.

Robo--I don't know how she does it either. Anchorage is much, much, much better.

I saw a bald eagle at the zoo once. It had been injured so it couldn't fly anyone. I can't believe how HUGE they are! What a beautiful bird that looks like it's about to kill you every second, lol.

they are big. That's why it caugh my eye. I'm used to little tweety birds flying by. But I looked up when I saw the this massive thing go by the window. Caw caw!!

I have a really cool video of an eagle chowing down a seagull. I was on the Homer spit on the beach. Nasty but couldn't look away either!
