Our Magnolia backyard was the stage for quite the eagle show recently. We had not seen eagles around our home recently so it was a lovely surprise to welcome them back to the neighborhood, even if only for a brief hunt and meal. One eagle with some brown plummage still remaining (so not a full adult yet–perhaps 4+ yrs old) settled in our “resting tree” but soon took off and circled over the marsh until it caught its prey. It returned to the tree to enjoy in peace but an agitated hawk did not allow the peace to remain. The hawk caused the eagle to pick up its prey and depart. After a short time, both this eagle and a second juvenile eagle returned to circle over the marsh on the hunt. It was a majestic sight to see two eagle circling and hunting right from the comfort of our deck. I hope they return soon.
