eagle-picture-croppedThere is a bald eagle who hangs out in a tree outside my window. I can tell when the eagle is around because my cat, Lucy, makes unique "the eagle has landed" growling sounds from her hiding spot under the couch.

The bald eagle is beautiful and majestic, but I cannot stand to watch him hunt the ducks who I have grown so fond of everyday. These …
