The Snowy Owls And The Eagle

 Meet Oberon the snowy owl, pausing between sips of water.


He crossed around the pan of water and looked at his reflection.


And then back over at Luna.


Who looked back at him.


And then there was this- Juno the bald eagle. I have never seen one in the wild. I don't recall ever seeing one in captivity. So this was a first. An absolute beauty, and a bit hard to photograph.


She was talkative, and I got the shots I wanted. Thus ends my series from the Museum of Nature. I hope you've enjoyed it.

    There is an inherent sadness in seeing these birds in captivity, but if they serve to benefit their species it’s all to the good. The recovery of the Bald Eagle in our area has been spectacular. They are verging on common!

    ...I think that it's sad to see them caged.

      I concur, but they seem to be treated well, and accustomed to people.

    I saw an eagle in Florida one year that looked large enough to carry me away. They are so large.

    We have both bald and golden eagles. I've been fortunate enough to get very close to them within 50 feet. Did I have a camera? Not so lucky.

    Beautiful birds. It is nice to see them being looked after given they would not have made it in the wild.
