A Big Bird

The other day was a little warmer, so I was out looking up at the sky.  From the corner of the sky, a big bird dashed out, flying high above me.

A seagull?  A heron?  With a powerful thrust of the wings, but with such an elegance.  Guess who?

"I'm just taking a short flight to appreciate the weather."

"As you might have noticed, I am a Bald Eagle, 

a protected bird, the symbol of this nation."
