Every Time I Look Up At That Mountain…
Author: siggyEvery time I look up at that mountain facing my town I expect to see a bald eagle. Last summer someone told me that two eagles were nesting there and he had a telescope trained on its nest.
The nameless mountain is across the mile wide River. Every time I look at the sky and wonder whether I will see at least one and best of all two. I know they probably fly up and down the River seeking fish for their prey. I wonder about their young and when they leave the nest.
I keep peering at the sky and wonder how long will it be before I spot one. Before I moved to this state I had never seen a bald eagle. Of course, I did not live near mountains and this magnificent River. I will catch a glimpse of this bird when I least expect it. I continue to look up the sky and mountains and River.
