Calling out with his loud shrill cry While winging through an azure sky, Low clouds back light intrepid flight. Strong talons grasp prey in sharp sight As feathers float on current's wave, I view a raptor bold and brave. Majestic in his swooping quest He soon returns to guard his nest. Fledgling beaks open eagerly Accepting gifts voraciously. Tree top dwelling, their sacred home Where King avian victors roam. The golden eagle, soaring high, Flies triumphant through autumn's sky. October 10, 2015 Golden Eagle Contest By Shadow Hamilton Flies, clouds, Tree, nest, Fledgling, Calling, swooping

Your eagle reigns, Connie, for you give it wings! You paint lovely descriptive images of this bird of prey. I still have to prepare an entry for this contest; would have preferred to have no given words; they tend to give similarity to most entries. ~ hugs // paul

I was thinking about that too. Her specific word choices made this a bit of a challenge for me. Can't wait to read yours. Thanks Andrea.
