about

Bald eagles and trees. See if you can figure out what the common names are for the Latin binomials mentioned.

lyrics

White headed salt eagle perched atop your ancient home.
Your eyrie is a stick fortress that over years has greatly grown
Mountain and ocean view the cut of where you’ve flown

Pseudotsuga menziesii reaching for a radiant sky.
While Galileo was describing material strength it was a potential of extraordinary length

I know you as a fish reaper descending from the sky
I know you as cheep go getter thieving as you fly
I know you as a beach keeper under watch of statued eye

Chicks atop Picea sitchensis
Waiting for a parent as a down pore breaks and drenches
everything is touches flowing into dark grey blues
it feeds the average mean and the chlorophilian hues

Is the raven misbehaving, intruding on your haven?
Or is it the other way? Will they fight until you cave in?

Standing your tree upon Pinus contorta
you like to start a brawl but you cannot afford a
hurt wing or anything and so once you’re at a loss
you’ll go home and line with the eyrie with some gathered moss
or gain some altitude and show the sky you’re the boss
