Bird Quote by Timothy P. McLaughlin
““One way is how he soars high above the clouds. The second way is when the eagle sits on a tree branch looking over the countryside. The third way is when he grabs his prey on the prairie. The fourth wya is when his protective eyes are keeping you safe at all times. The fifth way is when the eagle lets us borrow his feathers, The sixty way is when he talks to the rest of the sacred animals so they can also keep you protected. The seventh way his how the eagle sits waiting for your own flight to the sky. (Tonia Scabby Face, student)””
