The Osprey struck cleanly, coming Away with a 2 foot salmon climbed Slowly over the pool. Down came the Eagle, white headed missile, to knock The fish away, then catching it, mid-air,. Swooped into the trees to enjoy a stolen meal. �A bird of bad moral character� Wrote Ben Franklin, Who �does not get its living honestly� For a national emblem Old Ben preferred the Wild turkey �... a much more respectable bird...a A little vain and silly, but a bird of courage...� The eagle, ever vigilant, watches the Osprey from the tree waiting for his next meal

Hi John,
I like the analogy to life.
As for "Wild Turkey" that would put feathers on your chest.
