Johnny

Recently a bald eagle has made a tree in our front yard his hang out spot. He came to sit on this dead tree last week. The tree is marked to get cut down, but after 4 nights of this eagle coming to sit on it at night, we were thinking that they couldn't chop it down. On one of the nights, there was quite a storm. We watched as he stayed strong and sat up there through the whole thing. Having just seen the play 1776, we decided to name him John Adams (Johnny for short). He disappeared for a few days, so we thought maybe he had moved on, but he was back this morning. He just sits up there looking so wise, checking everything out. This morning there was a crow sitting on a branch near him making a bunch of noise. Johnny didn't even seem to notice.
