trained to return to their roost
a falcon symbolizes
a waltz with preservation....
habitats once filled river ridges
most studied for its skill
as it sweeps away
far from visual recognition

eggs laid in clutches
lucky ones hatch
DDT had laid its claim
news spread of how these skilled hunters
were raised in captivity
numbers are now restored
other less fortunate species
face extinction.

That is beautiful. I like the way you described the Falcon.

Cold hands means a warm heart

A waltz with preservation...
A falcon, a man, a soul...
Your visions are wonderous...the thoughts that sadden me most must yet be told.
Thank you. ThisDiamond

in the early eighties the program got mired in beaurocracy but somehow worked to fruition
and now I myself have seen one recently catch a smaller bird in a local park.
