As we left our polling place at the Brashear City Hall, I spotted what seemed like a Bald Eagle circling to the Southwest. She was far above, hardly more than an abbreviated line on the Broad Blue of the Sky. As I watched, those long wings in a horizontal line were unmistakable.
Richard, Ornithologist Ever At My Side, confirmed that what I saw was indeed a Bald Eagle. After all those years living in North Dakota and being in the presence of Native People, I often look Skyward, especially during Times Filled With Great Meaning.
The Eagle continued soaring, coming slowly but surely closer overhead. By then, we could see the White Head and Tail. This Eagle was a Blessing on this Beautiful Day.
