Now this is a pic of a pic that a buddy who just got back from the Island on a fishing trip took. The guide said he and his son were out on the water awhile back and seen an eagle hit the water trying to catch a fish which is not uncommon out here. However the eagle got water logged before it could take off and was proceeding to drown. The guide and his son pulled the eagle aboard and when handled didn't put up any fight. They took it into the cabin and as you can see from the pic went straight for the heat vent and started to dry himself out. After he dried out they opened the cabin door, the eagle walked out on deck and flew away. Pretty darn cool story.

That IS a cool story, and a great pic! That's one bad-ass eagle!

[gdesmo]

That's amazing, rare opportunity to see an eagle so close and did a humane save as well !

A few more of the eagle and one of the halibut they caught.

Sounds like this eagle has done this before! LOL!

It almost seems so huh Mario?..lol...weird thing is the damn eagle didn't kick up any kind of stink being handled, I got a feeling it was too exhausted tryin' to keep its head above water.

Mmmmm Halibut !

I know really good place for that!

Speaking of birds. I went over to my parents this afternoon to mow the lawn for my father. (He just under went surgery)
My mother was saying that Rudy (my dog) kept barking a whole lot when I dropped him off earlier in the day.

I just carried on and went to mow the lawn in front. And went to join my parents out back. They have a Robins nest under the gazebo.
Mum was saying that the babies were getting quite big yesterday when I called them. Sure enough , today theyre out of the nest and trying to fly.

Here's a little video I took of them. There's actually three babies. Two you will see in the video , the other one can fly without any issues he's zipping about the neighborhood. You can hear the mom and dad chirping to try to coax the babies to get up and fly too. hehe.

Cool vid and story there Neo! When I was a young lad, around 4 I decided in all my worldly wisdom to poke at a robin's nest with a fishing rod, well let me tell you, that mother robin did not take to kindly to me messin' with her home and proceeded to scare the bejeezuz outta me by dive bombing my head and taking a few well deserved blood drawing pecks on the top of my melon. I remember my mom telling me that when I got into the house I was white as a sheet...lol. Lesson received and understood.

Those wheels look awesome.
Even if it is a model, I was looking for over spray like I would on a real car in a non-factory colour. But of course, couldn't find any!
Really cool shots!
