I’ve been some time since last checking in on my Bald Eagle friends at Fort Donelson National Battlefield, in historic Dover, TN (Stewart County) and they have already raised and fledged another family. Just how many visitors have our nesting pair of bald eagles brought to Dover and Stewart Couny? No telling. When this shot was taken yesterday there were several folks at the park turntable watching the two, each in a separate sentry tree — one at the upper river battery and one at the lower river battery at Fort Donelson.
(….now, looking at my post from an editor’s point of view.. in the last sentence, grammatically and linguistically speaking, I seem to possibly be saying that the people were up in the trees watching the eagles .. rather than edit, I decided to leave it and comment. How important is it to write clearly? Well, clearly it is very important .. but the stream-of-consciousness flow of thought is also my best way to get ideas on paper .. or in this instance ..on screen. Now, for what it’s worth, Google tells me I write with words that are “too big” and that I need to use simpler words .. or more simple words. … I write how it comes out .. anyway .. What do you think? — Did I put the people in the trees? … Now, this posting is a a bit different from the recent ‘…upper water battery eagle post…’ and no doubt with this one, I have put the people up in the trees… ) …
