Remarkable creatures - I can not imagine the feeling of caring for them as you have done. Even from a distance, the more we watch them take flight, the more grounded we become. Al - need I say we stop before taking pix... the boys are used to my asking, "hey, can we stop just ahead?" It's a mighty pretty drive... Thought of you today as I "gardened." Planted chard indoors for winter greens, forcing paperwhites, transplanted a rosemary, potted two new Christmas cactus from cuttings from my mom, and watched my basil seeds sprout!

She was called Aquilla. To have had her allow us the privilege of knowing her, holding her on the glove, to feel her trememdous life energy and spirit, to be allowed to see, if just a little bit through her eyes, lets me tell you with certainty that they aren't just looking for food. They see all. We kept a non-releasable Golden Eagle at the raptor center for many many years. She was called Aquilla.

Bob got some super photos. I am always a little leary of doing to much looking as I drive that road, for fear I will be in the reservoir (a long way down). Then who would find me or miss me until a few days were up? The sheep look great and very comfortable. Sure hoppe the poachers were caught and strung up (a Texas term). I have seen Bald Eagles in the area, but never a Golden Eagle, so you all are so lucky. Have a blessed week. Al Gin,
