The eagle
This is the story of an Eagle
The Eagle has the longest life-span of it's species
It can live up to 70 years
But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision
In it's 40th year its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food
Its long and sharp beak becomes bent
It's old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, stick to it's chest & make it difficult to fly
Then, the eagle is left with only two options: DIE or go through a painful process of CHANGE which lasts 150 days
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on it's nest
There the eagle knocks it's beak against a rock until it plucks it out
Then the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out it's talons
When it's new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking it's old-aged feathers
And after 5 months, The eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years
Why is change needed? Many times, in order to survive we have to start a change process. We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, habits and other past traditions. Only freed from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present. When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at will change. Here at SWFC we are changing people lives, it starts with admissions. We are the first contact so question is: “What would your life be like if you had not met that person?” So, what would our prospective students life be like if they had not met admission rep? Like the Eagle, our students have to get rid of old habits, negative people, trials, tribulations and change their mindset in order to prosper. The Eagle is a symbol for freedom. You’re in this admission job to bring freedom to others out there who are hurting financially, physically, emotionally and otherwise.

    This scene is a reference to Penelope’s dream in which an eagle descended from a mountain to kill all of the geese feeding at Odysseus’s palace (Book XIX, L622-626). Odysseus’s men have submitted for many years, enduring the vile behavior of the suitors and waiting for Odysseus to return from Troy. After watching the suitors exploit the palace and cattle of their king, Odysseus’s men can finally release the anger and resentment they feel towards the despicableness of the suitors, as demonstrated in the fierceness of the battle; they take no mercy on the suitors and slaughter them. The men are portrayed as hawks, keen birds that are intent on catching their prey and ripping it apart with their “talons.”…

    While driving On Rte10 through the town of Hamden what seems to be an ordinary ride can become a scenic view of our nation's bird. On a tall skinny Birch tree over 40 ft in the air is lives a bald eagle in its natural habitat. In this nest lives a male adult and female adult with an Eaglet. The nest is located in a farming open field along a river bank. This field and river provides the eagles with a source of food. The eagles mostly eat fish, the adult eagle will swoop down to the water and grab a fish all in one motion flying the meal back to the nest to feed its family. The field is posted to prevent people from ruining the habitat, since the natural reproduction of this eagle is very important to its recovery from being endangered. I was able to view this community form the road and was able to watch the nest and occasionally watch the adult eagle fly away most likely looking for food to feed his family. The nest form my view was huge at least 3 feet in diameter perched up about 40 ft high on a birch tree. The surrounding area of the nest was clear of any branches or trees creating a clear access way for the birds to land. Below the nest was a large open field on the bank of an active river.…

    There has been three accounts of the blood eagle being performed. The first account of the blood eagle is in the Orkneyinga Saga in which Earl Einar says “I know not what I see in Rinansey, sometimes it lifts itself up, but sometimes it lays itself down, that is either a bird or a man, and we will go to it.” This explains that the ‘blood eagle’ could be used to mark the land but the blood eagle was mainly used as a form of torture. The second account of the blood eagle being practised is the Norna-Getts þáttr which says: now the blood eagle, with a broad sword, the killer of Sigmund, carved on the back, fewer were more valiant, as the troops dispersed, a chief of people, who made the raven glad. This depicts the blood eagle being used as a ritual instead of torture or execution. The last account of the blood eagle being performed is the Anglo Saxon chronicle which says: This year the Viking army went from the East-Angles over the mouth of the Humber to the Northumbrians, as far as York. And there was much dissension in that nation among themselves; they had deposed their king Osbert, and had admitted Ælla, who had no natural claim. Late in the year, however, they returned to their allegiance, and they were now fighting against the common enemy; having collected a vast force, with which they fought the army at York; and breaking open the town, some of them entered in. Then was there an immense slaughter of the Northumbrians, some within and some without; and both…

    “The term ‘hawk’ is used to describe the entire family of diurnal birds of prey. Hawks have acute keen eyesight, muscular legs with powerful feet and sharply hooked bills that are used for biting and tearing flesh. Known for their sharp talons, hawks catch their prey even during flight. Their nostrils are located above the bill on a fleshy patch of skin called the cere. They are swift fliers, with some attaining a speed of over 150 mph when diving”. ( Unknown author, n.d) They eat rats, shrews, ducks, toads, frogs, snakes, rabbits, and other birds. They hunt by day and can “see their prey two miles away their eyesight is the best in the animal kingdom.”(Unknown author, 2011) “The size of the hawk ranges from 19 inches long to 22 inches long. The biggest hawk, the rough- legged hawk has a wingspan of more than 55 inches.” (Unknown author, 2011) The female is bigger than the male most of the time. Young hawks grow fast maturing in a month’s time. Their habitat is in forests, prairies, marshlands and open savannas. Mating and nest building begin in the spring, March through May. Accompanied by aerial displays by both female and male. “Nests are located from 35 to 75 feet high in the forks of large trees” (Unknown Author, 2011). Both female and male build the nest from twigs and evergreen branches. Female hawks lay anywhere from 1 to 3 eggs, they hatch in 28-32 days. Hawks mate with their partner for life, but if the partner dies the mate quickly finds another partner.…

    Haliaeetus leucocephalus ‘ most commonly known as the bald eagle. The bald eagle is one of the most beautiful creatures known to man. The bald eagle typically measures from 30 -43 inches in length, and 70 to 96 inches in width with a wing span from 23 to 25 inches. Its feathered body is white in color and on its head neck and tail, while the rest of its body is brown. (Huddleston, 2009) When the baby eagle is born until they are teenagers, (approximately 4-6 months old), they are brownish black. Their white head and tail feathers don’t show up until they are 3-5 years old.(Saunders, 2003) Although the bird is far from being bald, the taxonomic name literally means white headed sea-eagle, so bald eagle is actually a misnomer based upon its appearance. The bald eagle in earlier times was widespread all over North America, but now mainly be found only along the Pacific. The largest population of these beautiful birds can be found in Alaska with an impressive…
