EAGLE ON THE SIXTH HOLE

                                      WE DIDN'T SCORE AN EAGLE ON THE SIXTH HOLE.  WE SAW ONE SCURRYING AROUND ON THE GROUND BY THE POND.  A GREAT BLUE HERON WAS THERE TOO AND TWO SANDHILL CRANES.  SO THERE WERE A LOT OF BIRDIES TODAY ON THE SIXTH HOLE AND ONE EAGLE.  MY HUSBAND FILMED THE EAGLE FROM OUR PATIO.  HE THOUGHT IT WAS INJURED IN THE LEG.  SO WE CALLED THE CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT.  JUST AS HE SPOKE TO THE WILDLIFE REPRESENTATIVE , THE EAGLE FLEW AWAY ACROSS THE 6TH FAIRWAY.  A LAWNMOWER ACROSS  THE POND ON ONE OF THE CONDO LAWNS HAD SCARED ALL THE BIRDS AWAY.
                                            THE EAGLE WAS VERY LARGE AND NOTICEABLE ON THE GROUND.  LATER IT FLEW BY AGAIN.  BUT THEN IT WAS NOT SEEN FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.  MAYBE HE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.  LATER A REDHEADED WOODPECKER FRANTICALLY BANGED HOLES INTO THE BARK OF THE GIGANTIC OAK TREE ON OUR PATIO.

BORN IN THE USA

                                            A FOX GOES BY THIS HOLE EVERYDAY AND A RACCOON WITH TWO YOUNG BABIES.  A SCRAWNY MALE RACCOON GOES BY EVERY ONE IN A WHILE VERY CLOSE TO OUR HOME.  LAST YEAR THERE WAS A LITTER OF FOXES BORN ON THE GOLF COURSE.  THE KIT FOXES  USED TO PLAY AROUND IN THE SANDTRAP ON THE 8TH HOLE NEAR THEIR DEN IN THE WOODS.  I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ALL WENT.
