Instead I found these pictures. Check out number 14. Take a look at the wing span on that Juvenile Bald Eagle, I think it's breathtaking. Numbers 7 and 11 aren't half bad either. http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/720086 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Wednesday I will be down at Whitewater Draw, near Douglas, Arizona down on the Mexican border doing a sandhill crane count. I can't wait. And I got a new camera for Christmas with a longer zoom, so hopefully I'll be able to get a good shot or two. The eagle and osprey shots in that link you posted are brilliant. About 2 summers ago we were fishing at a little lake up north and I got to watch an osprey fish for a whole afternoon. It was great! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I remember a long time ago, I believe in a Reader's Digest, about a man and his group who were making a desperate attempt to save the Sandhill Crane. It would seem his efforts succeeded, thank goodness. This area, near the Mississippi River, is finally getting their eagles back again. They were nearly extinct. I believe I saw one last summer, it resembled a hawk, but was much larger. Mary Jo My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
