This is the Harpy Eagle. The largest Eagle in the world. [emoji44][emoji1659]
The Harpy Eagle is so big that people often think it's a human dressed up as a bird... [emoji2962][emoji33][emoji7][emoji1659]
With a 6.5-foot wingspan and talons the size of a bear's claw, the harpy eagle is a predator of epic proportions. But sadly, this majestic bird is now at risk of disappearing for good.
Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away. I heard a sound at the window of the cottage. When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck. It’s mate stood beside it. It was clear that the fallen bird was dead.
I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over. It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate.
The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness. If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both. Nature truly has much to teach us.
