I travel for work, and the family has a cottage up in Tomahawk, WI. Was heading up to the cottage a few weeks ago, and saw a large shape in the road. I moved over to the left lane, thinking it was debris. As I got closer (about 75 to 100 yards away), the shape grew several times larger in size very rapidly. I slowed down even more, down to around 30 mph or so. Suddenly, the shape lifted off of the ground and started to turn.
No more than 40 feet in front of my truck was a bald eagle, banking to the left and starting to circle around towards the median. I had seen these beautiful birds in zoos, and videos of them in flight, but this was the first time I'd ever seen one in flight. I quickly pulled over to the side of the road, but by the time I got out my camera the bird was gone.
I've had the pleasure of seeing this bird two more times since then. It's never in the same place twice, but always along US 10. I usually see it after I've given up and put my camera away.
If you're driving through here, keep an eye out. You just might get a chance to see a truly majestic creature
