DESCRIPTION:
Uwharria live in Athens, GA

BALD EAGLES
I can't tell you what it means to me.
No chance of putting it into words.
My heart pounds, my chest tingles
As I gaze upon these noble birds.

Bald eagles were once annihilated
Vanished from the Earth
I stand trembling & speechless
Watching another one's birth

6,000 in the world
And I've just seen two
Give another one life
Proving this species isn't through.

DDT pushed them towards extinction
But in the US its been banned.
Now we produce this poison
And ship it to other lands.
Migrating birds don't know borders
So what's in Guatemalan streams
Pesticides and fragmentation
Destroy raptors' survival dreams.
