The bald eagle population of the United States declined approx. .998 between the 1700's and the 1960's. Thankfully they're making a great comeback. I've seen 2 in the last week. It could have been the same one twice. Once flying, eyeing my little dog and today sitting by the side of a creek looking for fish I suppose. These sightings were about 4 miles apart, not much of a distance for these birds.

Billy.... I saw my first Bald Eagle about two years ago while fishing with my brother one morning (early May) near Clarksville, VA.... The bird circled around the cove we were fishing a couple of times, then flew on off. I guess it was his fishin' hole too. One majestic creature he was.

Rob,
Sure you didn't see a "billyjoe" line with a few 0's?

Doug,
The wife is on the big bird to California to straighten out your state. I gave her a note of my personal advice to Arnold.

Technically, Rob, "Oink! Oink!" is two sentences. But very appropriate, nonetheless.

Doug,
I made a life sized picture of your head from what you posted. Mrs. billyjoe is passing out copies to every woman on the plane. It says " if you see anyone resembling this picture near the airplane contact nearest law enforcement agency"

This is just not fair.... The earmarks for Agriculture are just too small.
