Aerie -- Hayden

Aerie

n. pl. aer·ies also eyr·ies
1. The nest of a bird, such as an eagle, built on a cliff or other high place.
2. A house or stronghold perched on a height.

[Medieval Latin aeria, from Old French aire, from Latin rea, open space, threshing-floor.]

I think Hayden would enjoy seeing an eagle's aerie on a cliff near the shore.
