John and Peggy and the Little Black Clock sat upon a low mountain far, far away from people. Nearby was the nest of the members of the golden eagle family. And the members of the family were going off on trips gathering food such as a duck or a prairie dog, which, too, was food their cousins liked, although their cousins were very fond of fish. When they called to one another their calls were long and loud and very shrill and piercing. John imagined how frightened some little creatures might be, hearing these calls, but they seemed beautiful to him.

It was as though they owned the forests and were mighty rulers of the air, the mountains and the dark, deep, lonely woods. "The golden eagles never live where there are many people. In fact, they choose a part of the country as far from communities as possible," said the Clock. "Where they live they are the monarches of the air and land. Often a pair will be rulers over a certain section.
