There is an eagle's nest at Honeymoon Island State Park. We went to see it on Saturday and as we approached the fenced off area, the eagle was returning. We watched for a few minutes and then left the area. We walked back toward the parking lot and snapped several other pictures along the way. When we were a quarter mile from the truck, a lady walking toward us stopped to talk. She explained that a little farther up the trail, she had seen an eagle sitting close to the walking trail.
We walked for another few seconds toward the car and then on the left hand side about 25 feet above us and less than 50 feet away from us, there it was - just sitting there.
Outside of a zoo, we've never been this close to an American Bald Eagle - and we may never be that close again.
