[about a close encounter with an immature bald eagle]

This story was really one of the best postings I've seen
during my short residence on the list.  It reminded me very
poignantly of one of the finest moments I ever shared with 
my dad - on the dike around Shearness Pool at Bombay 
Hook when an adult bald eagle swooped out of the sky
not twenty feet from our car, hit dikeside with his talons,
and made off with a brown ball of fur.  That was back in
January of '70 or '71 - a memory I cherish especially since 
my dad is gone.  I suspect your daughter will feel about the 
same in the years to come.

Thanks for a great story!
