Dreams of flight
This is one of the three majestic Bald Eagles that live at the Calgary Zoo. They are in a separate enclosure from the Hawks and Owls and this enclosure is not open to people. Knowing how powerful that beak is, this is understandable! Usually, these Eagles are right away from the chain link fence and partly hidden by tree branches, but I was a little luckier this day. Occasionally, one will come and bathe in a tiny creek right next to the fence - I've had this happen two or three times and it's quite a feeling to be just a few inches away from one of these magnificent birds. I often see them in the wild, but can only get very distant photos. The Hawks and Owls at the Zoo tend to be injured birds, so I'm assuming that these Bald Eagles have also suffered injuries that would prevent them from surviving in the wild.
