Naomi or George

Kristy and I are visited on a routine basis by adult bald eagles. Due to frequently seeing multiple birds, we are assuming them to be a pair with young in the area.

We have named the birds Naomi and George in honor Kristy’s parents. Neither, from what I remember, was particularly fond of birds. Still, the connection to Kristy’s parents warrants the honor of naming beautiful birds after them.

This morning I was attempting to leave when I noticed activity high in one of our spruce trees. An eagle fluttered and struggled to establish a secure perch, but failed. Eventually the bird flew to a different spruce tree where it quickly took hold of a stout branch and began watching the world go by.

At this time we do not know whether I was visited by Naomi or George. I don’t know that we will ever be able to tell them apart unless we see them side by side. Either way, George or Naomi visited me today and was very welcomed to stay!
