Stunning! The 'black heron' is another great one!:) And the hawk! I'm irresistibly drawn to interpret these. Just a few words: They seem to me to address you in a most direct way, like dreams sometimes do. Native Americans refer to it as the twilight language of the spirit. In their mythology, the Eagle represents the Supreme Being who governs the destinies of all living things. It obviously (like the hawk) demands sacrifice and utmost respect!:) The black heron is our ordinary self seen for what it is …
vaughn - no major harm was done to any body part during the making of this post :)
lol, don! but you hit the nail on the head... thank you (i think) :)
thank you, borut - i'm always glad to see you around with your interesting and insightful comments. thank you for your interpretation of my sghtings... you know, it's quite interesting around here. i've seen crows harassing those buzzards, and there was a kestrel intruding their territory... i wonder what the mythology would say about that...
andrew - see comment tovaughn :)
shane - there were actually no crows mentioned in this context, though they are present in the area... so there must be something to your observation :)
Well, a buzzard is not an eagle, that's true. Buzzards are a rather imperfect 'version' of eagles, and eagles themselves are rather imperfect symbols of something incomprehensible that is the source of all.:) The nearer we get down to earth the more mundane things happen.:)
Hawks are my favorite bird. I'm sure there's a reason, but I don't know what it is. I could relate cause I could see me doing just that. Very good Polona!!

Poetic words!
Wonderful... as always!
Ouch.
What a picture! You stumbling I mean. We all stumble in the face of the eagles in our lives.

i'm with charlie
(but hope you're ok)
i like birds of prey no matter what they represent. thanks again, borut!
there is something appealing to these magnificent birds. i always love to see them (and there are quite a few around). thanks, pat!
so we all agree on the beauty part.
thank you, floots, and nothing to worry about - i'm fine.
I see you also write tanka -- so it'll be a familiar territory to you, I mean the tanka excersise we are doing now. Please come :)
i'll come, origa :)
but most of my tanka are just feeble attempts at the form
Polona:
any bird causing injury (directly or indirectly) is a damned crow in my book. heh heh
thanks for clarifying this, shane :)
the bird had nothing to do with it
