As I ride south, if I look to my right up into the tall trees with bare branches that line the water here – but the only bare-branched trees are, since it is June, the dead trees – I may see a raptor. Just as I form these words in my head, looking out the window of the train in search of one, I see a bare-branched tree and a bald eagle clutching a branch near the top. Farther down the tree is a second bald eagle – a bonus. Then the eagles are gone from sight, behind me upriver, and I look away, to write this down. In doing so, of course, I miss a piece of the passing landscape and other trees with perhaps other raptors.
