JULY - 2011

Dear Nature Lovers,

Greetings from oikos !
Eagles are the most attractive birds… handsome, large sized, staring powerful eyesight, peculiar beak & the claws… everything is very special about these birds of prey. Their role in nature is important as they keep control on the number of smaller animals.
Regards, 
Ketaki & Manasi.
