    Bald Eagle

    I went to the zoo on Monday. It was $2 day, so I couldn't pass that up. It was a particularly bad trip, I was robbed, lost my sunglasses, and most of my images were under exposed.

    Anyway, I got a few good images. Here is an eagle.

    Re: Bald Eagle

    Thanks guys!

    The robbery was in my checking account. they cleaned it out using my debit card number. I was left with $2. It happened while I was at the zoo, and I ended up with a card rejection when I went to buy a drink. I am in the process of disputing it with my bank.

    The eagles at out zoo, as with many of the other birds, are injured and incapable of flight. I am sure there are certain complications due to their injuries.

    Very nice shots, to bad about the robbery, but the bank should be able to go back on the merchants, and hopefully the police can help and put the @*!#%&^ behind bars.

    Yeah, not the most fun thing to find that you've been cleaned out.

    I do love visiting those birds though. They are so huge!
