The Wind and the Eagle

According to the data the team has collected, the female birds fly farthest north. When they find a partner, they settle down in one of the areas around their place of birth, and stay there for the rest of their lives. Sea eagles have good eyesight, and they fly well.

There are a few theories to explain the problem. Most accidents happen during the spring, which makes sense, seeing as this is when there is most activity in the air. But it may also be because the eagles become distracted, trying to chase away intruders that get too close to their territory. Another theory is that when birds get too close to quickly spinning rotor blades, the blades blur and become difficult to see.

Researchers have thus initiated a new project to find a way to make the rotor blades more visible to birds. They started by painting single rotor blades black, and are also working on testing the effect of attaching UV or laser lights to the turbines.

The water is dirty and covered with foam. I cannot hunt ducks at all like this. Grandmother Woodchuck looked up at Gluscabi. And Gluscabi answered just as every child in the world answers when asked that question, "Oh, nothing," he said.

Then Gluscabi told her about going to visit the Wind Eagle and what he had done to stop the wind. Tabaldak, The Owner, set the Wind Eagle on that mountain to make the wind because we need the wind.

He pulled the Wind Eagle free and placed him back on the mountain and untied his wings. The Wind Eagle looked at Gluscabi and then nodded his head.
