All eagles are large birds of prey they usually kill to eat br Though like vultures do from carrion they eat the rotting meat br They cannot digest seeds or grain they soar in light of day br Above the landscape gazing down on their look out for prey. br br In most species of eagle the female larger than the male don't ask me why this should be br The workings of Nature to know of too big a thing for me br Though those with degrees in Natural Sciences such things try to explain br The secrets of our Earth Mother to herself she does retain. br br Though of the workings of Nature they know far more than me br On the ways of her many species most scientists disagree br And I who have been in love with her for more than half of a century br Can only gaze in wonder at the marvels that I see. br br Like a pair of wedge tail eagles in the calm morning sky br So beautiful to watch them they hover as they fly br So close at times their wings seem almost touching so beautiful in flight br In Nature every day we live one more amazing sight.
