You Each Made A Difference. (MoonCamp)
After just watching Shadow bringing in an Uber Eats fish meal for his family (17:49), I felt that I wanted to ponder a bit as Super Dad has some time with his young treasured chick. After all this time Jackie and Shadow have a “Lill” Warrior to take care of. Another family feeding that I have just now seen is a gift too so many that have followed their journey, or just began to follow it, or peek in at it from around the world. The magical moment that the eagles appear to smile, and our spirits serenade with pure joy. It is all possible because of a Jeffrey pine, and a house that they call home 145 feet aloft in this wonderful tree. A home that they selected a half mile above Big Bear Lake.
This is indeed wonderful news that a project that would have intruded on this rare serenity that is a home not only to the eagles, but many other of their neighbors that also make this their special place. An answer to many of my prayers and tears over the past two years. I want to take this opportunity to salute Sandy Steers, Teri Ashmore, FOBBVCam, and all those involved with bringing light and reason to the potential perils of the proposed project. There was much that was at risk with the oversights in pursuit of these ideas and goals. Every email, every prayer, every donation made a big difference.
We all want Big Bear to continue to flourish, but at what expense. What do we tell the next generation, and what do they tell the one after. Is it that in pursuit of more that we ultimately destroyed what we had in pursuit of what we thought we needed. This is the only nesting pair in this area, it is a priceless gift, a National symbol of peace and freedom. Let us be wise what we decide.
Thank you ALL so much for ALL your contributions. This is indeed a day to soar the azure skies Eagle Family.
It is often the small things that bring the things that are life changing, but are all too often overlooked along the way because we think that they are not big enough to make a difference.
Light
Nick.
