A bald eagle perches on a driftwood limb on the shore of Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

There was a nice article in our paper today about a man here in Marin County who collects all things relating to the bald eagle.  His name is Preston Cook.  In addition to collecting, Preston has given much time to helping the bald eagle.  Among his efforts were many years spent on the board of the American Bald Eagle Foundation.  You can see the story here.

Our Nation’s Symbol

Ready for Takeoff!

After I posted the photo of the three eagles on September 11 I thought of another photo I took a couple of years ago.  To me, it epitomizes what a bald eagle should look like as our Nation’s symbol.  I’m thankful that I’m not posting a photo of a turkey at this point.
