This is their story, too, and they and their families are affected as are all living things. The Eagle family has lived in this area for many, many years. They call it home, just as we call this area home. When I first came here, I would go to the River and sit on winter mornings. One morning, I counted 37 Eagles in the Trees on the cliff touching the River. Now I am honored just to see two. Last year, two adult Eagles raised their family in a Pine Tree around the lake. These remarkable photos of the adult female and male feeding their children, were taken by a young woman named Jessica Hall.

Both the female and male Eagle take equal responsibility for raising their babies. They look and act alike, except the female may be somewhat larger. They hunt and build the nest together, and bond for life. They are wonderful parents and considered by the Native American as the most Sacred.

Recently, they have been taken off the endangered species list. It is my belief that the reason this was done was so that the gas and oil companies could drill where ever they wanted without the Endangered Species Act hindering them.
