Majestic Bald Eagle Spotted in Minnesota Neighborhood

A woman driving in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington had an awe-inspiring encounter recently, when a bald eagle swooped down and landed on a lawn as she drove by.

Lily Harder said on Twitter she was in shock after what she initially thought was a duck turned out to be a “huge bald eagle”.

After the eagle landed up ahead of her car, Harder said they “had a moment just looking at each other, me in complete awe of this magnificent creature. I feel like it wanted to tell me something. I hope to figure out what. I know I’ll never forget this moment.”

According to the Department of Natural Resources the biggest population of nesting bald eagles outside of Alaska is found in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Credit: Lily Harder via Storyful
