Backyard Bald Eagles

My treat this morning was to hear and spot the bald eagles as they came in to perch in the neighbors western hemlock tree that towers over our backyard.

A juvenile and adult bald eagle decided to hang out, rest, and take in the view. It must be a great view from atop the tree looking out over the fields and past them to Port Susan. I never get tired of seeing them. When the sky turned blue and the sun warmed the air I could hear bald eagles calling. I looked up to see 5 kettling on a thermal with 1 red-tailed hawk. I always wonder where they are going, are these parent birds taking a break, or are they the single adult birds of the season.

This is an energizing time of year with so much life emerging. The open spaces of the forests are filling in with light greens, dark greens, bright greens, and medium greens. The edges are aglow with whites, pinks, and yellows. I got my first whiff of the sweet scent of spring on Friday. I guess it's obvious that spring is my time of the year.

Spring's Break
Some wind
Some clouds
Some rain
Some snow

Rising upward
All the little
Flowers
Will grow

Into the hearts
Into the minds
Of those who
Cherish
The Divine
