Nature the American Bald Eagle......

the American Bald Eagle...... · 09:56 PM

which is the US National Emblem selected because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks,. I'm sure glad the turkey wasn't chosen as Ben Franklin suggested in 1782, photos taken at a bird of prey live exhibition. I was able to get up close for the photos which were shot with the K5 and 70mm lens.

Nice looking bird but doesn't look bald to me!

Awesome shots, Bob! Love both of them, very patriotic!

Great shots. I'm sure glad they don't usually hunt humans.

they certainly are Grant, quite impressive to view close up, the wingspan is huge. Hence the saying "soar like an eagle"

for sure, but I wouldn't want to leave any babies unattended if they were close by. I read where they can actually pick up small deer they are so strong.

Now he's a handsome fellow... or is it a bonnie lassie, how can a lay person tell?

I guess "you" just turn it over, reach in and take a feel.

I'll let you crack on with that... as your obviously more familiar with this bird and you'll let me know in due course.
