Fourth lesson: the circle of life happens everywhere, and it never gets easier. Up on the mountain where I work there is a bald eagle nest every summer. This summer there were two eggs we watched throughout early May, and they hatched just 5 & 4 days ago! However, this year, it didn't take long for the hawks to notice the nest either. The eagles were, sadly, eaten yesterday. I don't know what was harder, happening to have tourists looking at the nest at the time the hawks took action, or having to explain to people where the baby eaglets went that they had heard so many wonderful things about :/
