Fisherbird.
Sweeping in on favoursome wind the
sea-eagle glides with imposing ease,
vaporous flight of abundant harmony
foresees a capture as this raptor and
water meet.
The reason for frightful movement
become transparent when in utter
abandon the fearsome bird, on being
enamoured with finding a fish, dives
to lighten his hunger.
Nothing will finish the piercing search
of this wild fisherbird but success and
as feathered glory descends with quick
masterful dip and splash those yellow
eyes tell me a story.
He has likely a nestful to feed before
end of morning - - so I wish him well.

Eagle eye is sharp and makes it easy to locate and catch fish accurately !

All the species of fishing-birds are not the same in nature. Not to feed but some of them fishing just to please her beloved. The fish which it hunts by tails, that he brings to her, if she likes it, their love will begin. Ornithologist knows better of them....Otherwise here the "end of morning" metaphor plays fantastically with the imagery. Thank you for sharing.
