HARPY EAGLE!!!!!

Grace happend today and resulted in my third wild sighting of a Harpy Eagle. This time I saw it from in front of my room here at Refugio Amazonas. The Harpy is one of the largest eagles in the word with talons large enough to slay a howler monkey and that are as wide as a man's wrist at the ankle. The earth almost seems to shake when they press off of a perch to take flight. 

The sighting came about as a result of observing the signs correctly: 
1) It started raining and then the sun came out so it became a sun shower; 2) I look out the back of my room and notice I bit of a rainbow forming in the fine spray of raindrops:
3) I think to myself, hmmmm maybe if I step outside of my room and get more space in front of me I will see and even bigger rainbow!;
4) I recall the rainbow halo of many bodhisattvas;
5) I step outside and after taking 5 steps for some reason I look up in the opposite direction of where the predicted rainbow was supposed to be:
6) I see a HUUUUGE HARPY EAGLE flying to a Brazil Nut tree just on the edge of the lodge's clearing and I see it fly just moment there is a gap large enough for me to see it, identify it, and think OMFG that's a Harpy Eagle!!:
7) TIME STOPS;
8) This is one of the 1000's of reasons why I LOVE the rainforest: when you contemplate the sighting of rare and majestic creatures and the perfect serendipity of the experience, it stuns the mind with the beautiful perfection of it.
