Our intention was to spend the day in Winona, Minnesota.
Sightseeing. All that stuff. But we never got there. Because on the way. We discovered
the small Mississippi River towns of Prescott,
Red Wing and Wabasha. Winona
will have to wait. For another day. Another time. I like the unexpected. Such
as stopping at a scenic overlook. And sighting eight bald eagles. Gliding in
criss-crossing fashion. In the sky. Above the river. Beautiful. Beautiful.
Beautiful. We were in awe. My Italian true love. Her friend Giovanna. And
wide-eyed me. We learned that Minnesota has over 1,300
active eagle nests. Second only to Alaska in the USA. Information abounds. At the
National Eagle Center in Wabasha. Where live eagles reside. Injured. Beyond
full rehabilitation. Unable to fly. But
there they are. Tethered. Almost in arm’s reach. Felt like I had entered their
nests. For the opportunity to commune. Little wonder. That Winona can wait. –Jim Broede
