I can still recall, vividly, a late Winter afternoon encounter some 15 years or so ago.

They scattered and 2 flew over my vehicle at about 1 metre.I suppose I was lucky I wasn't travelling faster--might have had consequences for both the eagles and myself!BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-1150845154922472282006-06-21T09:12:00.000+10:002006-06-21T09:12:00.000+10:00It truly is 'awesome' to have such a close encount...It truly is 'awesome' to have such a close encounter with such a magnificent bird!
