In the mid-afternoon, Ernie flies in lazy circles above Margo where she rests in the shade of a rock overhang high above the Golden Eagle Ranch. She's invisible to all but Ernie's sharp eyes. She watches him, thinking that he's very earnest about his eagleness. He's very proud of being the symbol of our country. Margo doesn't have the heart to tell her best friend that it's the Bald Eagle who is the symbol of our country. Margo says, "When an eagle has pride, you go along for the ride."
