    Show Me Your Eagles...

    These are captive birds from Grant's Farm in St. Louis (unable to return to the wild due to injuries.) Show me yours.

    One more. For those of you who may visit St. Louis, Grant's Farm is a free zoo-like park run by the Anheuser Busch family.

    All these were shot in the wild.

    OK....

    We all know the full adult(5 yr plus) bald eagle has a white head, but.....

    Smart wombat has a 4yr old bald(and a golden eating a squirrel)

    mjs1973 has one image of a 3 year old bald

    AND HERE IS A FIRST WINTER BALD EAGLE and a just fledged bald (2 weeks out of the nest)

    Mind you the fledged image was shot with a 1D/100-400/2XTC in 101 degree july weather AT 500+FEET and cropped. It is a FEDERAL CRIME to get close to a nesting bald eagle and fledglings, but it needed to be documented .

    The 1st year bald(3-4 months out of the nest) is an old image from 2002/2003 that I had in a folder on my hard drive that I never open.

    90% of my bird files are not even at my house(not to mention the 30,000 slides), so I can't post any of the gazillion images of wintering eagles I've taken in the last few years.

    Wow. I've only seen a eagle in the wild once. Didn't have my camera.

    One day I hope to make it back to the USA (if they'll let me in) and come to one of the forum meetings.
    This insistence on biometric ID is s bummer if your country doesn't have it on the passport.

    Don't feel bad. My own country gave me trouble trying to GO HOME from Canada 6 years ago! I finally asked the guy if I should just apply for political asylum in Canada and if he might have my mail forwarded to his office until I get a Canadian citizenship? I stated that it was some sort of political bull that I can't come into the country that I have been a registered voter in since 18 ;) I also informed him I was writing my congressman about him holding me up for no reason beyond being tattooed, which is discrimination and against my civil liberties!

    He let me go home 1 minute later

    OK, back to Nature and Wildlife
