    Cool story. If the bird can't be returned to the wild I hope it has a productive time reproducing in a zoo.

    I had never seen a bald eagle in the wild until a few monthes ago. One lives close to my plant.
    I never realized how large they are- it's amazing.

    Bet that scared the **** out of you when it hit the truck.

    kelly,

    Well done! And thanks for taking the time.

    There's a beautiful bald eagle that lives near my house. They are majestic.

    "That happens to be a Bald Eagle you're shooting at, and the US government takes it personally" - Continental Divide.

    I've seen a few at a distance in Alaska, but wasn't aware that the population in the lower 48 had recovered. That's good news.

    There's a lesson there for street racers: Road kill just ain't worth it.

    Good job Kelly. It was very good to go back for the Bald Eagle. Most people would just keep on going.

    You made the right wing nutz / anti Kalifornia section (present poster included), in the P & R section quite happy.

    Ok, so i'll ask - what happened to the car? (for all you eco-freaks) ;)

    Apparently, Ben Franklin wanted to name the Turkey as the national bird. Imagine that! Would it have meant Bald Eagles for Thanksgiving?

    The picture of the people standing around the bird are all smiling, like they are all proud of this kill. Though it was an accident, it's not a damn football game! This should have been a somber momment!

    I don't believe it. There are NO pictures of a Ford truck towing a Ferrari.
