My eagle eye inspects the sky
To ferret out the chill,
And now I’m left to wonder why
The snow came down at will.
I know it’s colder in the heights,
And all the air was wet,
So pondering that, I knew by rights,
That snow was what we’d get.

I’ve fluffed my feathers up a tad
To keep the warmth inside,
I’ll check the depth of snow we’ve had,
And take a chilly glide.

I hope you’re hibernating, all
You creatures of the hills,
You must have known this snow could fall,
It’s testing all our wills.
But worry not, the rain will pour,
And wash the ice away,
Then soothing days will evermore,
Bring sunshine every day.

A tough time of year for all animals and birds. They can’t wait for spring and easier hunting. Have a good Sunday Anneli. Allan

Yes, it sure is. Well, not much longer for the eagles. Soon it’ll be herring time and the beaches will be a smorgasbord.

Thanks a lot, Arlene. I think we’re all so tired of winter, even the eagles.
