Eagle Awareness with the Scouts

Lake Guntersville... one of the most scenic views in our state

George's Cub Scout Troop had an activity planned with Lake Guntersville Eagle Awareness. While there, the Scouts completed a service project (cleaning out bird houses so that birds have nice homes), and they watched an Eagle presentation and had opportunities to observe the eagles during a busy time of year. 

Ready for the show


Sweetest little owl

A barn owl that is very regal


This little guy flew right over us! His wings literally buzzed my hair!
This trip was a wonderful break from a busy winter. 















In total transparency, we stayed in a chalet. The temperatures were just called to camp, and when we woke up Saturday morning to snowfall, we felt good about our decision. 



George was loving getting a glimpse of some snow. 


Then, as if things couldn't get better, a State Trooper came through while Skip and George were outside, and George got to climb in the SVU, sit in the passenger seat and check out all the gadgets. He loved it, and this officer was so nice to spend a few minutes with George.  


Grace and Lauren have attended Eagle Awareness in the past with my mom. Six years ago, they went up to the Lodge, spent the night, saw the same eagle presentation and observed the eagles.  

We had a great weekend, and enjoyed seeing George with the Scouts.
