I had a beautiful walk to work yesterday. The sun was rising over the horizon turning the sky a variety of pinks and blues. The air was fresh and cool. The sounds of shrieks and trills resounding in the air. Two male bald eagles were chasing and attacking each other. One would land on the top of a tree only to be dive bombed by the other. They flew in circles calling to each other in their not so threatening voices. For those of you who have never heard a eagle cry out it is not that great of sound. That is why in movies the eagle cry is replaced by the sound of red-tailed hawk. Now that is a call.
Before long the talons came out and they were trying to grab at each other as they spiraled down. Then finally a victor was chosen and the one of the eagles left. The winner perched on his tree and looked down at me as to say I am the king of the world. What a breakfast show.
No signs of bears yet but don't forget to enter the contest. Guess what day it will be when I see my first bear and win a beautiful new book about Katmai.
