Its a bird Its a plane....oh yeah it is a bird Our Eagles are back

I saw them again. They were soaring above my head higher than any turkey vulture or hawk that we have here. How do I know they're eagles people ask: Well first of all they aren't black with white undersides, second they're way bigger than hawks and third they have very different tail feathers and their necks are longer. Their wingspan is huge and it has feathery tips straight out rather than angled in.
I was lucky enough to see one land by our water fountain. As the summer progresses and winter comes we become one of the few places with fresh water. Thus, many different kinds of animals come to visit. This day I saw a huge bird land on the trellis and though "OK hope the dogs don't chase it" but then after moving closer I "hoped it wouldn't pick up one of the dogs". It flew to a spindly little branch on a palm tree closer to the water and its big body didn't fit on the little, broken branch. That's why I think they're young eagles, maybe coming in from the fires around California.
Neither have white heads, another reason why I believe they are young or both female. But they soar above in the clouds like two buddies. They have a high pitched cry that sounds nothing like what I have heard before either, and when they are flying the air is still. There is no movement of little birds or small animals....it is "deadly" silent.
I hope they stay and make a home here. We have plenty of squirrels to keep them fed for a long time. It is amazing to look up and see them gliding in the sky so high.....I now know why our forefathers chose these birds for our national symbol. Thank goodness they beat out the wild turkey for our national symbol. I'd much rather look at an eagle on a our currency than thinking of Thanksgiving each time I paid a bill.
