Watching for his meal
He sits high upon his perch
Ready to take flight
This majestic bird
Has a wingspan of eight feet
Powerfully fast
Lives up to twenty
A natural carnivore
Can easily swim

Quite inventive Susan, love the song.
“Can easily swim” poetic licence used there 🙂

Is it a wonder these beautiful birds have been adopted time and again as symbols of power. And you capture that so well.
And I have heard that track for a long long while. Thank youo.

There’s a road not far from my home that has about six eagle nests way up high on top of telephone poles.I think they put a flat board on top of the poles. The nests look huge.

Wow. I’ve never been so lucky. Various hawks are commonly seen, but never eagles, not around here.
