I did the Mt Vernon Trail yesterday and saw a bald eagle hanging out next to its next. Those things are HUGE. As I was riding up I was checking out the tree knowing it was a bald eagle nest but I could only see a small white bird. As I got closer I realized that was actually the tail feathers of this eagle. It was bent over scratching itself or something. I've seen this nest before on a previous bike trip and I saw a bald eagle hunting the Potomac River as I was near in a canoe. They are starting to be a common site around the Potomac.
My ride went OK. It was a hot day and I tried to go early. My wheel was rather bent. I did better with food before the ride but need to have more than just my first meal in me before I go.
