Hi Luggers,
In Ketchikan we visited the Wildlife Sanctuary. There they had a Bald Eagle 
with
a broken rear talon on one leg - meaning she couldn?t hold on to captured 
food.
She was picked up on a roadside near death from starvation. She has been 
nursed
back to health but cannot be released back into the wild because the talon 
can?t be
mended. So she is one of the prime attractions and available for short 
periods of time
for portraits. Here?s mine:

Please view large. C&C always welcome.

PS: I had a gallery show at the Talisman bookstore on Pender Island this 
summer and this photo was the best seller!
