I love running trails and am also a bird watcher. On last nights run along the Delaware river in New Jersey, I came across a bald eagle nest!!!! Now those of you on the west coast of the US and Canada may think this is an everyday occurrence, but bald eagles weren't seen in this part of the woods until very recently. Population was decimated by DDT and they were wiped out on the east coast but are now making a comeback with other raptors. I managed to waste a good 30 minutes watching and will be bringing my binoculars on tommorow's run!!!!

That is awesome! In CA I have only ever seen two, both on river-rafting trips. They are mind-blowingly beautiful creatures.

My very first 5k back in Oct (when I got the tri bug and started working out) I was oggling some amazing geese and the Cessna planes taking off from the airstrip to which we were adjacent.

Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing the world through new eyes while working out!
