Hi Barb,
You are not so far away - I now life on BC's south coast.
We have a lot of bald eagles here and up the coast. When we lived in Prince Rupert, my wife and I would travel up the Skeena River when the Oolichan were running and there would be thousands of bald eagles in the trees and on the gravel bars feasting on the fish.
I have had them fly below me in the mountains, here, giving their haunting cry - it is most spectacular!
I'm glad you enjoyed the poem!
God bless,
Dave
