If We Could Understand The Animals




 One morning recently I was watching a pair of bald eagles, one was perched in the top of a tree, the other one was fishing, then flew up an perched in the tree near the mate.  And the two of them proceeded to talk with one another.  Loudly, I was probably 500 feet away and I could easily hear them.  

I wonder what they were saying to one another? Was it kind? Was it affection? Was it disappointment? Or anger? I wonder if they wish they could understand us?

  4. Our cats seem to have a conversations, too, and I always wonder what it is they're saying. They sometimes even piss each other off.

    1. Maybe they are talking about SG, and his need for a fur coat.

  5. I imagine, both domestic and in the wild, look at us and wonder what the heck we're doing, as they soar and nap and roam and rest and play.

    1. All of this work, to live a comfortable life, Thoreau wondered where we went wrong.

  6. Those are some very deep questions for a Saturday morning! I imagine they don't view us in a favorable light.

    1. Maybe they do, and we are the one's that lack understanding?
