So touching, sensitive, and a bit wistful, Kards; and beautiful! I hope we all get to see JJ take first flight; it is so strange, this turn of events, that this moment we would miss because of lack of sunlight. A bit ironic, after being granted this beautiful, rare look into the lives of these magnificant wonders, it became a part of our daily lives, but just for a brief moment. Life will go on, but we are all changed in ways we never imagined.

Wonderful Kard! You are so talented with words. And you express what many of us do feel about the birds and each other, newly formed community of kindred spirits bound by eagles and hawks. :)

When JJ flies

All eyes

Will face the skies

Joy and sadness

Follow our madness

We came as strangers

We will leave as friends

One small bird

Who grew

And grew and

Grew

Before our eyes

Touched hearts and

Minds

We learned and grew

Along with you

When JJ flies

All eyes

Will face the skies

Touched forever

Bound together

When JJ flies

The last few days with the cameras down I have realized how important this little bird has become to many. But, it is much more than that! We all check in to see, with a glimmer of hope, if the camera is up and we can once again see JJ and family. We also check in, to check on each other. We stay on line to respond to any and all that want to know what has become of the little bird and our chat friends.

We started out strangers and we chatted Eagle talk and then those chats became more. We learned about one another and we cared. We shared the joys and the sadnesses of our new found friends. AND it went beyond 2D. I have been witness to some of the most amazing generousity of spirit and kindness that I have not always seen even in the local 3D community. I have been moved beyond words.

We have been admonished for not "keeping on topic" . We have had new people join our flock and find some joy in a few moments of laughter. Madness I call it. I have laughed so hard my sides have hurt and I have had to windex my monitor. I have cried watching the Eagles in the storm - none that were here will ever forget or will ever look at storms in quite the same way. I cried when new friends hurt. But we never lost sight of the Eagles and were always willing to share information on their well being and about eagles in general. We learned so much from the special eagle folks and each from other.

I have been touched by the pure beauty of nature as I watch a young eagle learn and grow to be the magnificent bird JJ is to become. Like many, I feel JJ belongs to all of us.

I have found warmth and friendship in the community we have become. We are from far and wide and yet we have found joy in this place and in each other, if only for a few moments. In many ways I am a much better person for having been here.

Witnessing this amazing masterpiece of nature has made me want to help the birds and I promise them and all of you that I will be thoughtful of what I do and how my actions can and will impact them - those we have come to adore. You have my word!

There are people here who have taken this experience to another level and have shared it with all of us. A wonderful, beautiful JJ scrap book, a nightly recap worded so eloquently we have all been touched and even a wonderful JJ rap song. I wanted to contribute in some small way so I penned for you my poem "When JJ Flies"

I thank you all for your kindness and your friendships. I will cherish this experinece always. Touched forever, bound together.

Namaste, Kristine
