Hello everyone,
Today was my last day working for a company near RTP (Research Triangle Park).
I decided to go out to lunch. I could see an airplane in the distance and
then another airplane. They were on a collision course. Only one of them
turned out to be a bird.
An adult Bald Eagle was soaring over Davis Drive and Hopson Road. I reached
for my emergency binos and confirmed that the eagle was soaring over parking
lots and not near a lake. My lunch time is limited and I reluctantly moved
on. On my return to work I saw a Kestrel on a wire. Not a bad lunch time.
Wish me luck on my new employment starting Monday.
Remember that you sometimes have to look up. You may never know what you
might find.
