What did you do today not on your truck...

I slowed just a tad and tried to see what was going on, and a flash out of the corner of my eye something was falling, came from the left side of my vision to right at the front of my truck.

It was a bald eagle that swooped down and grabbed the squirrel off the road and flew off. I came so close to hitting the darn thing, luckily his timing was perfect.

Wish I had a dash cam. We have a ton of bald eagles in our area so not uncommon to see, but you dont get to see em in action that close too often.

They are danged big up close too. Last year a rabbit got hit in front of our house. A crow was trying to pick it up and fly away, but it was too heavy and an Eagle came and claimed it. He/she was tearing it apart on the road but was not happy with the cars, so brought it into our yard, 30 ft from the house to devour most of it. Crows got to claim the scraps.. LOL

Cool pic!
As for me, I gimped into the doctor and got a cortisone shot in my right knee. Boy howdy, did that hurt! I hope that it's worth it. I have a ton of things to do that don't involve leaning on a cane.
