Golden Eagle (Captive) - a photo on Flickriver

Golden Eagle (Captive)

Taken at Pacific Northwest Raptors in Duncan, BC.

Oddly, this is my first Flickr photograph for 2010, which is pretty sad, considering we're half way through the year. My last photograph was taken back in October and while I have ventured out since then, I was unable to come up with anything that I felt was worth posting. Aside from that, my personal life has been extremely busy and I don't have much free time for bird photography like in the past.

This Golden Eagle is one of the captive birds at Pacific NW Raptors located outside of Victoria, BC, Canada. My wife and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Victoria and were lucky enough to include this tourist attraction in our visit. I'll skip a lot of the detail which you can find on their web site, but needless to say, they specialize in birds of prey and have a variety of raptors to photograph and watch.

This Golden Eagle looks a bit different from the one that I took over two years ago (much more golden this time around.)

Hope this provides some much needed "inspiration" for a certain person with a three letter name. :)
