Subject: Re: After 240, the Bald Eagle:
Up until a few decades ago, the bald eagle was an endangered species.

Before I was 30, I never saw one in the wild, even though I spent a lot of time in their native habitat.

Now, although it can’t be said that they are “everywhere”, we often see them up north at our cabin.

Even here, 18 miles outside of Ann Arbor, we occasionally see them sitting atop one of the twin Russian fir trees in our front yard.

We have a twelve pound dog that we often put on the exposed back deck while we do yardwork….. EXCEPT when we know there’s an eagle in the neighborhood.

She’d make a tempting eagle snack.

Just one of the many things I never worried about forty years ago.
