High o'er the coast of Alaska he flies Wide 'cross the prairies he covers the skies A picture of courage and beauty, a symbol of freedom and right Riding the winds through the mountains Guided by nature, an occasional eagle in flight (Lyrics from "An Occasional Eagle" by Fred Carter Jr.)

And the eagle's anguish reverberated between the banks of the river, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Headin' into twilight Spreadin' out her wings tonight She got you jumpin' off the deck Shovin' into overdrive . . . Credit: Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins

One of the two eaglets in the nest was able to sneakily snatch Mama's phone and place an order for a Big Fish. Because Mama is a Prime member, within an hour the new Eagle Drone service carefully delivered the fish directly into the middle of the nest. Bon Appetit!

". . . and all those who see me, and all who believer in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly." ~ John Denver

You know it's cold when an icicle forms on your beak between the time you graze the river and your back above flying reconnaissance for another dive . . .
