Eagle Eye II
I went back and visited the bald eagle from my first Eagle Eye post last month. The eagle is being cared for by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. I talked to one of the girls at the center and she told me this particular eagle had been shot and that's why it can no longer fly. They had another eagle, but it died and she said they believe it was 18-20 years old at the time.

love that last shot. so beautiful.
The curve on the end of the beak is amazing.
*sigh* What a gorgeous bird. :)
Wonderful images, you can see what a formidable predator he must be. I love the detail in his feathers.
I don't think one could get close enough to get these shots were it not captive.
They are very photogenic birds.... you captured some splendid poses and portraits
Amazing beautiful bird and great photos. I would love to see an eagle up close some day.
Bitter sweet these photos. It's tough to see this magnificent bird incapacitated but heartening at the same time that it is being cared for. Altogether it's wonderful to see this bird in otherworldly detail. Quite a show!
Cheers!
what a thrill to be soooo close to such a beautiful regal bird.
you captured it so beautifully, it was very exciting for me to view your photo's!!
Great photo of a magnificent bird. Why would anyone even try to shoot it!?
thank heavens for the refuges available and ongoing welfare for injured birds. This Bald Eagle is so handsome; great to get so close for your photos.

is live stream (hopefully goon on the day you might check-in). Be patient!
The three chicks have grown and starting to stretch their wings a lot this afternoon I see. I'm wondering how long before they take off out the ledge?
Beautiful shots of a gorgeous bird Brian! That last photo is truly special. The looks you can get from a raptor like this are amazing. And just take a look at those talons will ya?
Hey Carole, thanks for the link to the Peregrine Falcon cam! Very cool!
Absolutely incredible. I have never seen such "close up captures"- they're magnificent!!!!
What a magnificent bird.
Sickening that some people see fit to shoot such beauty.
That's quite the bird. Lovely shots. I love the heron in your header photo.
Hi - they really are a remarkable bird.

Nice shots! Amazing beak. I wouldn't want to be a mouse!
Awesome portrait of this majestic bird -- I really like the pose in the last frame! Great shots!
great shots. :) You really got close to the eagle. But, are the beak supposed to be that long? It looks strange somehow.
Wonderful images of a beautiful bird... many thanks for sharing.
He is such a beauty! Those claws are something else.
What a gorgeous bird. I am amazed by your shots of it too, especially the last one. Amazing!
