Byrdstown, TN

Today as I was driving back from church, within one half mile from my house an 
adult Bald Eagle flew up from a pond and right over my car and landed in a 
group of trees in a field.  I stopped and watched it a few minutes then drove a 
few hundred yards to my niece's house and told her.  She started walking back 
to see it as I drove slowly back and stopped.  I eased the car door open to see 
it better and it flew just before she could see it.  As I was apologizing 
another one flew out of the same tree before she could see it!  As a seasoned 
birder I should have remembered to be still and after another apology I 
verbally kicked myself all the way home.  Maybe I'm too seasoned!
