Something extraordinary is about to happen..

I was just about to say this to my girlfriend, Diana the Huntress, and then thought better of making crazy pronouncements. We walked about another ten steps along Long Beach when an eagle flew past us by the woods. It perched, and another swept down out of the trees onto the beach right right in front of us, maybe 50 metres away.

I later posted this on facebook;

Saw an eagle feeding on a dead sea lion yesterday. Was pretty cool to watch. The female went down to feed and her partner stayed in a tree high above. If other birds approached her, they had to be below him, giving him air superiority. First he chased off a big juvenile eagle, then a male about his size, and then that male went off and got his mate and the two of them came back, and he chased them off too - with a full-fledged aerial battle with barrel rolls and screeches and everything. All this time his mate was feeding, and they were in communication both with looks and sounds. He never, even facing a pair of eagles, asked for her help, but let her eat. Lessons in teamwork from Nature. Gratitude.

Indeed. Sat there for two hours and watched them. Went back the next evening, alone, and the male came down and circled around me while his wife was feeding hungrily before night enveloped them and sent them to their roost. Wolf tracks in the sand. Waves crashing

Seconds, falling off the map..

This time I will say it out loud, "Something extraordinary is about to happen.."
