Third article in the series with many more encounters, especially Kestrals. But, I want to concentrate right now on Eagles.

BEFORE EVERY TRIBULATION COMES A RAPTOR

1. February 3, 2021 an eagle lands in my backyard, having never seen one there in twenty years. The next day (My daughter’s birthday), my best friend dies of COVID.

2. January 14, 2023 another eagle on the ground in the backyard on my niece’s birthday. 16 days later she dies unexpectedly.

He flies straight over me and continues over the roof of my house. I live at the end of a pond that curves away. A few seconds later I hear a very loud splash. I grab my phone and start wildly and rapidly taking photos, although I see nothing. On the photos nothing can be seen until enlargement and close inspection. In successive photos, only a shadow of the eagle can be seen. In the very first one only, can he be visualized. How he gained altitude during the rapid onslaught of my shutter, I don’t understand.

So, then the 14-16 day countdown was on. Sure enough a fortnight later is when Pope Francis was closest to death during his hospital stay. When he was discharged, I thought he was in the clear.

Until today, at 75 days (5X15 days), when he died….
