Traveling on I-75 to West Branch placed me in a position with an incredible view. Three hundred feet above me circled a large bird wafting on the wind. At first, it appeared to have no purpose, save for playing on the wind currents. Then in dropped precipitously like a rock to pick up some carrion from the road. The eagle's surgical strike was so precise that it never lost a feather. It fact there might have been ten seconds to spare in this maneuver, before it would have replaced its own target.

Aren't eagle remarkable. To be able to soar and then dive with such precision is just fantastic. To be that free would be great at times.
Barb; The traffic was traveling very fast on the road and had the eagle miscalculated by more than a couple of seconds...
