\"\"<\/a>There was a beautiful home perched high above us on our walking route \u2014 settled on the utility pole right before our turn off onto another beach road. It\u2019s been there for the past few years since we\u2019ve been walking that way. Such a sweet home \u2014 I\u2019m not sure if it has had the same stewards each year or not, but you can tell it\u2019s been cared for, and the couple tending it work together in tandem, keeping it so. Sometimes one will fly off for some grub, perhaps while the other one nests. Monday we saw the two of them, sitting up there in their cozy nest, watching the world go by. We skipped yesterday\u2019s walk because of the wind, but today\u2019s we didn\u2019t \u2014 as we neared the beach I dreaded to find what I saw was littering the road ahead. Yesterday\u2019s fierce winds had torn through that nest, and smashed it to smithereens on the street below. I wondered about those ospreys. I was heartbroken for them, wondering if they\u2019d found a safe place to land, while they rebuilt \u2014 hoping they hadn\u2019t lost their babies and that they weren\u2019t feeling as discouraged as I would\u2019ve felt. Later this afternoon, I read in one of my newsletters about the Eastern Monarch Butterfly, and how 90% of their migratory grassland habitat has been destroyed by development.
\nWar isn\u2019t the only activity that decimates the landscape and its inhabitants. Home loss and violent weather systems brought on by human conceits \u2014 these things destroy lives too, both the living land and the beings who live upon it.
