Eagles Mate For Life
Eagles Mate For Life
Written: by Tom Wright

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.
