As I was having my first cup of coffee this morning and watching to sun come up over the Sapphire Mountains, I noticed something rather large perched in a tree in our pasture. A few moments later the sun was high enough to shine on it. It was a huge Bald Eagle. What a beautiful and magnificant bird. Bald eagles are a common sight in the Bitterroot Valley, and we occasionally will be visited by an eagle, but I'm always in awl of their size and beauty. What a beautiful and wonderful place to live!
