Eagles are such an impressive bird, you don't realize how big they are till you see one up close and personal... or until they swoop down at dusk to pick up a dead kokanee about 4 feet away from you.. at dusk.. and scare the shit right out of you! Haha I'm blessed to live in an area where there is a huge resident population, and in winter the population triples... if you keep an eye out its amazing how many are around northwest Montana and North Idaho
