It's a great time of year to get out early, walk the dogs and take in the brisk air. Many sticks and scents to investigate along the way. Cisco was the first to notice a hulking presence in the trees... And he came running full tilt to investigate. This smart eagle just relocated and kept a … [Read more...]
