Thinking Eagles Scream

More From Aldo Leopold

I sometimes think we ought to bring a bill before congress changing our national symbol from the eagle to the buffalo, because we are more like the buffalo than the eagle. the eagle is a powerful bird. it flies alone. it rises up into the sky with authority. it is master of all it surveys. the eagle is an individualist and was selected from among the rest of the birds to be our symbol. but the buffalo was never alone. it always ran in a herd with other buffaloes. and, friends, i call your attention that the buffaloes are gone from the open range, but the eagles are still soaring.

Contrary to popular belief and hope, people don't usually come running when they hear a scream. that's not how humans work. humans look at other humans and say, 'did you hear a scream?' because the first scream might have been you screaming inside your head, or a horse backfiring.

Alan rickman was such a terrific actor, and that was such a terrific character that he played. and it was a joy to be with him. we used to laugh together because we ran out of reaction shots. they were always - when everything had been done and the children were finished, they would turn the camera around and we'd have to do various reaction shots of amazement or sadness and things. we used to say we'd got to about number 200-and-something and we'd run out of knowing what to do when the camera came around on us. but he was a joy.

Then drew shuffles into the dining hall. i drop my toast, and my mouth drifts open. calling him “bruised” would be an understatement. his face is swollen and purple. he has a split lip and a cut running through his eyebrow. he keeps his eyes down on the way to his table, not even lifting them to look at me. i glance across the room at four. he wears the satisfied smile i wish i had on.
