Eagles Mate For Life

Eagles Mate For Life Written: by Tom Wright 10-26-20219 A pair of Bald Eagles at watch over aerie, safe from predators except their own kind. Any intrusion makes these birds wary, but a simple fly by these two won’t mind. They sit this moment guarding two eggs, glaring intently at sky and water below. Won’t be long now before a fledgling begs, for a fish dinner that will see them grow. Only 50% of fledglings survive the first year, and they’re considered fortunate to be alive. America’s national bird that can instill fear, its message is only the strongest will survive.

G'day Tom … sadly, down under, farmers have the illusion that our eagle kills many lambs when its a dog problem but eagles pay a high price. A nice informative verse from your pen Tom - thank you - Lindsay

Lovely piece about this beautiful bird. So sad to know that only 50 percent of the little ones survive. That last line is powerful. Enjoyed this.
