Feb 13, 2007 09:24 | #3 One thing that is interesting is that their heads when strutting are quite blue. I observed this same flock later in the day and the blue was not as evident. George

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | Feb 13, 2007 09:27 | #5 From looking at these guys, you'd never believe they could fly. But I've seen whole flocks of them in New Mexico, fly from one mountain top to another. They don't have any trouble at all. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Kind of funny to watch them get airborne, though - like a washing machine with wings! George

Feb 13, 2007 14:01 | #13 Thanks for the kind words folks. Karen mentioned the fan of the tail. Here is a rear end shot. What is really striking to me is the length of the tail feathers!  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. George

Yeah, but who ever heard of bald eagle day? At least these guys got a holiday named after them. Turkey Day. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
