We then put him into an old duck pen and it was the safest place for Woodrow until we could get him help. People have asked why we named him Woodrow Wilson Wood Stork. Were we really fond of the 28th president? Actually we liked the name because it had two W's and went well with wood...

The Presents of Eagles: Lessons in Life, Love, Mentoring and Other Meaningful Relationships
ISBN: 9781890555139 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most beautiful New Testament Bible scriptures instructs us to, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet our heavenly Father feeds them.

This book is an attempt to consider lessons learned from watching a family of eagles in the context of a Florida Nature preserve during the first decade of the 21st century. Clearly, it is not the first book to ponder such lessons; nor will it be the last. However, the book shares a unique perspective. It is a fictionalized account of how...
