That turkey pic is badass Eagle on the farm last fall. First time we've ever seen one on our property, and one of maybe a half dozen I've ever seen locally.

I've probably seen less than 20 in my life. Most of those were down by the Delaware river.
This one we've seen a few times this summer. It moved into the area and seemed to like hunting along our Creek. Was pretty cool that my brother, father and I all saw it and we're able to get a couple pics.

JMan, the last of our old saddle horses died about 2 weeks ago.
Dad and I knew it was coming.
I cried the next morning when I found Shorty laying dead by the feeder.
Eagles found him the same day and I find that fitting.
He was one helluva good horse.
Screw getting buried in a hole, let him fly with the eagles, that's how I'd like to go.
