Flight of eagles

Watched three Eagles flying 
High above our seeking eyes
Up, over the steep headland 
There they flew in clear blue skies
At Rapid Bay we saw them circling 
Watched them play; rise and rise...
We travelled further on our journey
Near Deep Creek Conservation Park
Another pair; circling 
Precious views we saw of them 
Another amazing coincidence: surprised!
Then as we turned the corner
An eagle being victimised 
Many crows pursuing: wings 
Beating fast as they synchronised 
Their attack upon the invader 
Soaring up into the blue skies... 
A pleasant lunch shared soon after
Beneath dappled, shaded trees; delight 
As we continued on our journey 
Boy was I surprised; more Eagles soaring 
Over the pine forests so far away 
I counted ten magnificent Eagles 
On our beautiful travels: in one blessed day!
