Bald Eagle (U.S. National Park Service)

Christ the Redeemer, Bless His Holy Name, Amen, to the place called Big Bear Valley, where hails our nation's bird, fair Cali, the American Bald Eagle ... proclaim. Naught bald or hairy, females are bigger than their forever mate. Soars ten thousand feet: eyesight eight times stronger than human and they are indeed, the largest ... raptor. Courting, sky dancing show, Cirque du Soleil, can't beat their score. Biggest nest, atop tall trees, their babies are called eaglets and crawl and fledge but not too far. Grandeur display, winged feathers of prominence. Humankind edge what remains their last hope, be enshrined.

Oh, wow, dear William, you've presented another beautiful reverie in this series of 'Songs of Fauna'.. The way you incorporate such deep thoughts in the vivid imageries whilst conveying the ambience of majestic fauna, ahh, that's really captivating.. "Humankind edge what remains their last hope, be enshrined" That last line says it all! Very thought-provoking indeed.. Amazingly crafted..
