This is a beautiful story.
Yesterday, as per usual, I was browsing my way through the latest posts on Ugly Hedgehog.
Then I really sat up. For Val had posted the following:
OMG. You won’t believe this story.
I took Lili (my faithful photo dog buddy) for her usual evening walk up in the back of my house by the golf course. Fortunately, that is where the eagles hang out.
They have been pretty boring, albeit, beautiful.Tonight they had a very large bass that they were sharing.
I took a bunch of pictures and we went for our walk.
They don’t pay much attention to Lili and I any more which is cool. On our way back to the car, we had to pass under the tree they were now in.
I took a few more pictures, and as we passed under the tree, they dropped the fish and it landed about 3ft from our feet.
Lili is off leash.I told her to stay and lie down, she did and we both stood still.
The big female flew down and walked over to get it. Looked at us, and took it back up into the tree and continued eating. It was soooooo exciting!!!
Val included some photographs.
I sent Val a private message asking if I could republish her story. Val said ‘Yes’. But even better than that Val included a short video and some additional news. In that Lili was found by a dumpster four years ago. Then Lili was just 5 weeks old. Since then “I have been taking her everywhere with me since.”
Val went on to say:
As soon as it gets dusky, I keep Lili on a leash too for the same reasons.
She is pretty big, 80# but I don’t trust the eagles.
Who knows what they would/can do?

oooo
oooo

oooo
oooo
And one of Lili!
And there’s a short video but I don’t have time today to turn it into a YouTube.
It’s a beautiful story.
Such a great, little story! I loved the fact that when I was walking around B.C. bald eagles were just out & about.

We don’t have bald eagles here in Oregon so I am very envious, Susan. It’s a great story.
