Bald Eagle
The bald eagle has many fans
Both the old and the new
A little crowd in the stands
Watches his every move
We look at him with spotting scopes
And give our oohs and aahs
He preens as he spends his day
In his nest big and tall
Each prefers a lake or river
That is plentiful with fish
Talons catch a scaly dinner
That he feeds to his little chicks
The mighty thermals help lift him up
With his colors showing there
There’s no mistaking his identity
He is beautiful beyond compare
He returns to perch in his nest
For all of us to see
There he passes the numbers test
with his little family

Lovely write wc.
Thanks Orchidee! I'm honored that you enjoyed it!
Awesome write on one of my most favorite birds. I've watched video cams of a Eagle's nest with two Eaglets watching them grow over the time the camera is running. So cool to see into a Eagle's way of life. And your poem here tells that story so well. ; )
Thanks AP! The Bald Eagle is one of my favorite birds as well. He's such a strong and beautiful bird. It hasn't been that long ago that He was endangered. Thank God they have fought back, and their numbers are up again.The video of the Eaglets sounds neat. Thanks for your comment!
You can usually find the videos on Youtube titled "Eaglecam"
Glorious bird. One of my friends here in the UK is an amateur wildlife photographer and he and his wife had a holiday in Florida a few years ago, Not for him the beaches or Disney World, they went round the rubbish dumps photographing bald eagles!
Good write.
Thanks Goldfinch. Other than a zoo experience several years ago, all my experiences with the the bald eagle have been special. He really is a most handsome bird!
