Apparently Bald Eagles are already at Bear River but I didn't see them yet until yesterday. I spotted this Eagle perching on the dead tree in the open field while driving to Bear River.
To walk in the open field toward the Bald Eagle seemed like a crazy idea because Eagles can spot so easily very distant moving and still objects, they even don't need to move their eyes to see them.
I walked anyway without any expectations. These photos show how close I could get to the Bald Eagle before he took off.
We often call someone "eagle-eyed" if they spot very distant objects. It's interesting that this expression was first used in the 1500s, long before the scientists learned about eagle vision.
Generally, life is good!
He seems an impartial judge of the world. A beautiful and proud specimen.
