Bayport and more…

I planned to go to Bayport for the sunrise on Thursday morning, and I left in plenty of time, but as I was driving there I could see the red in the horizon and I was afraid I was missing it. But I didn’t, it just continued to become more beautiful as time went on, a perfect sunrise. The only thing missing was that Great Blue Heron that usually joins me.

I headed home and passed the turn for Jenkin’s Creek and thought to myself that I ought to stop there and see if anything was going on. So I turned around and took the turn. That proved to be a good choice because there was the eagle I keep hearing about, perched all by him or herself in what I think of as the woodstock tree. I had been told that the eagle used to always be there but that the wood storks had taken that tree over. Maybe there has been a change of command. I have to say that even a majestic eagle looks a little silly when he scratches an itch. How ironic to find an eagle by accident, so to speak, when I spent such a long time looking for one the day before. I should have stuck with it a bit longer this morning because almost as soon as I put the camera down he took off. I would have liked to get a photo of that also. Maybe next time…
