She hatched on Pine Ridge Reservation and was brought for rehab. to my friend in Rapid City SD. It’s always so very sad when an injury fully compromises normal flight. The bird’s placement truly needs to be where the most suitable fit for the individual bird is found. She went to the right home.

I remembered you are living on the Flathead Reservation. 🦅
Yes, my efforts on behalf of the Eagle were greatly appreciated. I know that the entire situation was a great responsibility & a deeply significant path to walk on behalf of her. She’s the largest Golden I’ve ever seen at that latitude.

Thanks Deborah! Yes, it’s been one of my great blessings in life to have been given those sacred opportunities with Elders. Through no effort of my own, it unfolded after I had helped place a rehabilitated Golden Eagle, who could no longer fly,in a great home at a Raptor Rehab. & Ed. Center in CT.

Hi Deborah! I am so sorry that the link didn’t work. 😕 Thank you so much for posting this workaround. I had tested the video link before posting and finally found a link that worked - but now you & others are finding that that link failed. Ugh. I’ll try to correct it today.

Hi Scott! My apologies for the malfunctioning link. I had rechecked the link before posting, it wasn’t working, so i re-copied the link directly from the video on YouTube. That did work when I tested again, so i posted it. Maddening that it’s clearly faulty; I’ll try to add a new working link.

My responsibility was to Listen - to receive Wisdom, to absorb the Wisdom and Learn to truly Understand it. I was also blessed to sit with those Elders who chose to invite me, to offer me, the opportunity to receive Teachings. (Continued…)

I’m glad that Dinnerplate dahlias are now an ‘add to’ your list of new items to bring into to the garden next year. 😎

A Farmers Market vendor in my former town in eastern MA sold cut flowers & bouquets. She was well-known for her beautiful dahlias of all types.

Her popular Dinnerplate Dahlias were real show stoppers. I’m confident that your pictured dahlia is a Dinner Plate variety.
