Haliaeetus Leucocephalus

      Since the bald eagle is the national bird of the USA and given its powerful symbolic role  in American nationalism / patriotism..... I often wonder just how many Americans have had the privilege of observing this majestic bird soar ´freely and unfettered above their heads as it goes about its daily struggle wth survival. Fluff and I feel blessed indeed  here as we spot one or two  on a rather regular basis. Just a simple query ,  folks?   Photo shot by Fluff Studios Inc

  1. Never seen one except in a zoo. They are not near me. Wish they were though.

  3. Once up in Canada on a bus tour to a glacier there was a Golden Eagle flying by. Was on the wrong side of the bus, my camera batteries had just died and the spouse ran out of film.
