Prominent Prey

A powerful hunter, of varied species Watchfully gazing, they perch on high Eyesight of excellence, strong hooked beak Awaiting your prey, vultures, a splendid relation Incredible wingspan, as they take flight Found near water, perched on feathered legs Fish a-plenty, hunting ground Boot, harpy, snake, fish and sea Of four divisions so they belong Rainforests, deserts, coasts thy be found Of almost every habitat Foraging for food Make way to the nest Eyries of the ledge, frequently of the trees Align thy grass, twigs and leaves Display a valid courtship Allocate thy mate Somersault with might and weight Protect thine eggs, chicks will hatch Be guarded, vulnerability be aware Return thy food, to motherly shelter Protect from snakes, ravens, racoons Promote survival, train thy young Eagle calls across thy territory Attention thus occupied With wings outstretched Take thy stand Written by Geraldine Taylor ©
