birdwatching

I've got a special bald eagle. I see him every few days on my way to or from work, sometimes hunting for fish; sometimes soaring super high above everything; once catching a fish; once fighting off one of the ospreys I also often see; mostly just sitting in what I now think of as his tree. Maybe it's just because bald eagles seem like such majestic, uncommon birds (I don't think I think that just because of the connotations of American government;), but it totally makes my day to see this guy. And every time I do, I think how awesome it is to be in Portland, where urban and nature can still place nicely together.
