Wild Bald Eagle Lands on Man's Shoulder

Info from Licensor: "So the video doesn’t tell the whole story it just sums it up, but if you can read through all this here ya go. Yesterday, I had an uncontrollable urge to go hunting in a spot I had never been to before. I mean, I've always loved the idea of trying to hunt or find a place to hunt that no one else has been to before... I often walk miles to find that perfect spot..

Well in my journey yesterday I came across this old pond way back in some national forest. After I climbed a hill, I saw a bald eagle swooping down to get a fish and fly all the way to the other side to eat his catch. He was about two hundred yards away... I thought to myself and even said it out loud, almost mockingly, 'God, if you hear me, I sure would like to get close to that eagle. I know most times you don't seem to hear me, but if you are listening, I want to get close to that eagle.'

Now what happened over the next few hours showed me I should be a little more specific in what I ask and a whole lot more respectful. I kinda forgot about the eagle and started making my way around the pond so when I looked up and only 10-15 feet away is this bald eagle looking right at me. I froze in complete disbelief and total shock. I sat there for a few minutes in total bliss thinking, 'No one is gonna believe this,' but God still wasn't done. I went to get up to leave and that dang eagle flew up and landed on my arm. SCARED me to death! I actually swatted it away because I was so scared and freaked out, but then I had a sense of calmness come over me as I watched it fly and soar over the water almost making an infinity sign in his flight path and he came right back to me and this time I was calm and ready, trusting this is nothing but the lord. That eagle landed right on my shoulder. He sat there for well over an hour. GOD DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The eagle wasn't harmed or anything of the sort and is still just as free as the day it was born."
