The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for February 23, 2025

well, it i̲s̲ the nation’s symbol

I watched an eagle’s nest cam once. That was enough, a second time would just be repetitious.

Just do what every show resorts to when it’s run too long. Attempt comedy.

E.g ‘Supernatural’ and ‘Stargate’.

Hey look, here’s a couple of eagles watching a human-cam. Wait a minute, is that us?

This one is wearing a cape with an Evil Kan-Eagle logo! (Sport eating champion)

Aerie’s got talent. :)

Them is iggles and their team very good playing football.

As soon as they were made our Official National Symbol, eagles have gone commercial.

I have the Decorah North Eagle Cam website open right now. Been watching it for quite a few years. But sometimes the drama gets a bit much and tough to watch, as in “only the strong survive”. Nature really can be very cruel.

One interesting development the last few years is that Canada geese have made use of the nest that one pair of eagles abandoned. But that also has it’s drama…jump day from an eagle aerie can be quite hazardous to a little duckling’s very young life. A recent nature program series I’m watching on PBS on why different animals have widely varying amounts of offspring comes into play.

A lot of parks employees have been let go by President Musk. I’m pretty sure he and his assistant, Donnie Dump, couldn’t care less about the great outdoors.
