Visions from eagle watchtower

This is a live report from eagle watchtower on Mann road, located right across the dock of South Fork Marina, live for Eagleradio7 on 97.3 FM, the only radio station owned by eagles, made for eagles, in eagle country. Today we have a live broadcast from our special reporter from Skagit valley, Eagle Cottontree, who has been keeping watch for us all day and this evening at South Fork Marina, Skagit county, to cover today's special event, the flood warning on the Skagit river. Mr. Cottontree, can you hear me?
- Yes, Eaglemike, Roger over and out. Go ahead!
- Good evening, Eagle Cottontree, can you briefly explain the situation to us?
- Positive, Eaglemike, well I've been here on the watch all day without much to report about, except steadily raising waters, but lately things have taken an accelarated turn. The Skagit river here south of Mount Vernon, in Skagit county, has now almost reached flood stage. The day is drawing to an end, and the human inhabitants of this location have now all come back home, to find quite a change from when they left this morning. We noticed quite some activity in the last few hours, starting with a species of the female human kind touring her property to evaluate risks and start gathering valuables. You know how materialistic those humans can be. We also saw, just a few minutes ago, that same individual bailing a little boat off the accumulated rain water, and then pushing away some debris from the dock with a perch. When the family gathered later on in the evening, we saw them taking turns going out to inspect the neighborhood. They are also keeping their pets under close surveillance, probably for fear they might fall in the river and get drowned.
-Mr. Eagle Cottontree, what impact do you think this event is going to have on our fishing season?
- Difficult to say, Eaglemike, but judging from what I'm seeing right now, it doesn't look good. The river is carrying along a lot of debris and mud, and the speed of the water makes me think our favorite hotels down below might suffer great damage, so yes, our fishing season might be compromised.
- And what about our mating season, you think it might be endangered as well?
- difficult to say, Eaglemike, I think we're gonna have to wait for the experts to evaluate the damage on that ground. Let's cross our fingers!
