Like magnets, these eagles come, to the sounds and smells and sights of summer haying, where meals wait beneath the crop. Earlier this summer, I snapped a few pics of them for the summer edition of God and Nature Magazine.

Enjoy!

Mentors

By Cheryl Grey Bostrom

​While rain delayed the hay cutting, voles proliferated and eaglets grew. Then, when baling cleared
the field, parent birds brought their youngsters, who watched and imitated their elder mentors.
​Ten baldies in all, hunting rodents—the younger ones panting from the day’s heat and effort.

​​“They neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them.”
—Luke 12:24

---

​​“Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
—Philippians 4:9

---

​“Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you

and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.”
—Hebrews 13:7
