Editor’s Note
I’ve been watching Liberty and her mates since 2008; seventeen years of seasons, stories, and survival. What began as curiosity has become a quiet ritual, a grounding presence in a world that often feels chaotic. Checking in on the Redding Eagles isn’t just about wildlife observation; it’s a touchstone of continuity, a reminder that life cycles persist even when everything else shifts. Through loss, renewal, and resilience, Liberty’s journey has mirrored my own in ways I never expected. Her nest has become a kind of compass, anchoring me to reality, offering a sense of normalcy, and reminding me that even in uncertainty, there is grace in persistence.
