The cliff overlooking the river the vastness of the sea. Its windy all over and the sun has hibernated. So they sat on a rocky surface where there was just a short guava tree above them that looks like umbrella. Then they exchanged glances and smiled as they sat side by side.

" Why you liked it here? of all the places and what are those old blank papers and pencil?" He smirked while tying his hanky on her wary hair.

" I'm going to interview you and will write a biography. Hmm...if you accidentally lost out of sight, I know where to find you and when people will ask your ident.i.ty I can easily trace your whereabouts. Also, I will verify the facts to my brothers whether you are telling the truth or not. But I'm not saying you're a liar, no, not." Then she smiled.

"Haha! really? Wow! I loved it! So, I'm ready!" He pressed his head then winked at her.

" You will only answer the truth."

" Of course, I will."

" Tell me about your parents, as a child and the place where you grew up."

" I learned about bald eagles when I was young. My family always went on a summer vacation each year to the northern part of our state. We stayed at a place called Greenwood place in St. Germain. It is a six hour drive straight north from our home. It is in the "north woods"...an area of Wisconsin that is a great forest and many lakes. We stayed in a cabin right on the water's edge.

My father taught me the difference between bald eagles and ospreys. He said it was important to know if you were going to be a serious bird watcher. They are similar in size, live in the same area and have similar colors ( although the osprey is a little more grey in color). When they are soaring high overhead, they look almost identical because you cannot see the white head of an eagle unless you had a pair of binoculars. The way that you can tell them apart is the shape of their wings when they fly. An osprey's wing is jointed in the middle which gives it a little bit of a "V" shape to the wing. An eagle's wing has no joint, it is straight across. When either bird is flying very high in the sky, it is the only real way to tell them apart. Both of them are beautiful, wonderful birds of prey.

I used to go out on our pier early in the morning and lie flat on my back and watch the bald eagles soaring overhead. They would always come out early in the morning when the lakes were quiet and calm. Bald eagles are great fisherman, They will soar and circle over the water for a very long time, never flapping their wings, just floating on the air currents. When they spy a fish close to the surface of the water, they swoop down and scoop the fish up in their talons. There are very large fish that they catch because eagles are very large birds. I was so happy for the eagle when they were very successful with their fis.h.i.+ng trips. They often had youngsters, aren't they called eaglets Mag? haha! then back in their nests that needed to be fed, so fis.h.i.+ng was a daily routine for them. Their nests were enormous too. They were always in the very tops of trees and always in a dead tree, so they were very easy to see.

The main reason that I enjoyed watching the eagles on their fis.h.i.+ng trips was because more times than not, it took numerous catches before they were able to take a fish home to feed their young.
