Please can I ask - No more photos shown of actual kills - I know it happens its nature, just not nice to see it.

Thank you.

P.

You can choose to skip it. Many people appreciate viewing nature in the raw, including myself.

Enjoy, regarding this eagle, more to come.

Beauty of a shot! How'd you ID it as female??

So if I recall properly, this is a subspecies of the Drenched Ibis?

Drat! My age-addled mind is having a proper brain-fart
Sorry Trik, but while I know this bird (and have seen it's kind probably in this very thread) I just can't connect a proper name to it. This was one of a pair that must be newer birds in the NC Zoo free-flight aviary. Can someone shout out a name for me?
