That must have been a phenominal sight!
It was...just gorgeous birds....I spent a half day ( while the wife and daughters were touring yet another Indian museum) at the Alaska Raptor rehab center..where the injured eagles and other raptors are rehabbed and released..I got to hold a juvenile bird, with a broken wing, while they were changng his bandages. Amazing how light they are..yet the size and power of the talons and beak is hard to describe. So, I've been "sponsorng " a bird for over ten years now...it's a wonderful cause..
