Flying Poodles

One more reason to go to the park with the dogs…

I take the girls out to Sandy River Delta Park a few times a week. It’s good for their fitness to run and play off-leash. It helps keep them somewhat sociable (although they have serious fence issues!). It’s good for me to walk three or four miles at a time–keeps me fit. I like getting outside and I miss it if I don’t go. We do better at agility if we’re all fit. This all matters.

But today… today I saw a pair of bald eagles doing their courtship flights. They were a study in grace and beauty. Bald eagles are great big birds, and watching them fish is always amazing. This was different; they may have been obeying a biological imperative, but they surely were having fun at the same time.
