Re: Very inspiring

Bueno!
I would like to share this:

About a year ago, our son had a house built in a subdivision called "Eagles Nest" at the 9,000 ft elevation in Colorado on the western slope of the great divide. About 60 feet from the main entrance of the subdivision is an abandoned light pole with no wires attached, atop which is a birdnest approx 4 feet long supported by wooden crossbars on both sides of the post. One day while driving in we saw a couple of birds with white heads. On another day, there were 3, and then 4, with the birds' bodies showing more and moving. At first, I assumed that the Golf Club, of which we are not members, built the nest due to the name of the place, and that the movements were a Disney-like setup. Then, I started seeing people with cameras and tripods sitting around for hours and realized finally that the developer named the subdivision Eagles Nest because that nest was there 13 years or so ago when the house building started. Now, I look up quickly every time I drive through, as I suppose does everyone else, hoping to see one fly in or out of the nest.
