Scot Tiernan, a volunteer with the Juneau Raptor Center, tries to sneak up on a juvenile bald eagle at the Wayside Park on Channel Drive in June 2013. Center volunteers received a call that the bird was unable to fly and was laying on the park grass. After a few attempts to catch the bird with volunteer Pat Bock, the eagle flew off. Tiernan said that it was a good sign that the eagle flew off but that it sometimes can take a week to catch a sick bird.
A silhouette against
gray winter sky,
his tucked-tight wings
shed the cold drizzle.
It’s difficult just now
to imagine him in sunlight,
head and tail glistening white
as he glides on thermals up and up
and up against a spruce backdrop.
But I know he will again soar
that pain and hurt can pass,
change like weather.
The sun will return and
we can again soar.
