August Challenge: Day 24 .....

Tempting.

After reading about a live Bald Eagle demonstration in the paper, I knew it was too tempting to pass up.

This is a female golden eagle that sadly was found with a gun shot wound to her wing. She was brought to the Carbon County Environmental Education center's small wildlife clinic. Unable to fly, she managed somehow to survive on the ground for at least ten days before being rescued by a brave, determined Sullivan County resident. She has been at the center since 2001 and now takes part in these educational programs.

The demonstration also featured a beautiful female bald eagle.
