Watching The Eagles Soar

Watching The Eagles Soar

         Living in the Styx, I get to see all kinds of nature up close. The Animals are plentiful and varied. If I get up early enough, around 6:00 A.M., I can watch The Byrds, my favorite being The Eagles, fly over. The female of the pair has been tagged for study, and you can see The Band on her leg glinting in the early morning sun. One could literally spend all day Counting Crows, but they are too numerous.

         We have ten acres comprised mostly of hardwoods. There is a garden at the back of the house surrounded by sculptures my husband has created.  He is a welder by trade, so the majority of these are metal-works. My favorite piece is a gorgeous Iron Butterfly;  its wings actually flutter in the wind!

         Lately, I have spied a Foreigner to our woods, a lone wolf. He has only shown himself once and then only on the edge of the treeline. He is skittish but curious. He makes me nervous for our two dogs, Blondie, our Yellow Labrador, and Meatloaf, our Border Collie. They would be in Dire Straits if he attacked them. There is a local Grassroots organization in our county trying to keep wolves on the endangered species list. 

         We are in the process of clearing some of the trees, so there are quite a few stumps protruding here and there. The Beatles clamor in and out reducing them to pulp. Wildflowers grow in abundance from this mulch, and The Honey-Drippers, my pet name for the hummingbirds, zoom in and out. It's all too beautiful, but be careful, the bumble bees love to Sting!!!
