A few years ago Bald Eagles teetered on the edge of extinction, but now I’m deep in the woods around a reservoir,”hunting” them. The sun shifts and spotlights a huge nest of sticks laced in the fork of a tall bare tree, amidst some white pines and spruce in a small cove. She watches Him fly in, and, with much flapping and positioning, they mate. Eagles teeter, but these days on the edges of nests and not extinction.
