At least I believe that is what it is. This is a "cheat" as it's from the Raptor Center in Sitka, AK where I've been visiting that last few days.

Great Gray indeed...A Beauty too.

We only get to see them (When we're lucky) in the winter; as they move southward in years of food shortages...

Well Done!

Well, unfortunately she was unable to make the graduation as she was busy buzzing the east coast but she sent a stand-in - some Commissioner of something or another and he apologized profusely for her not being able to attend in person. :lol:

Oh and I'm back as of yesterday, it was just a quick 3-day trip, primarily to see my son after his three months of "boot camp."
