New Species of Bald Eagle found in NC

This Bald Eagle was brought to a Winston Salem NC based rehab group after he flew into a window and bonked his head good. Luckily the fine women of the tri-delta sorority house whose window he somehow managed to fly into were kind enough to call the rescue group in to come and get him. They put him on display at the local Apple Festival last weekend where all could come admire him. There are many more photos in the Bird Forum of other much better looking birds...all birds of prey...check em out

Beautiful example of the rare and shiny sub species (Haliaeetus leuchromedomeocephalus).
In the wild these birds normally wear their eagle eyes contacts and as seen here, has been fitted for glasses due to too many dorm window crashes.
This IS typical behavior for the male of this species due to unnaturally pink skin left after premature feather loss.
The wild population is declining thanks to acid rain, beer parties and missed signals from the females of the kind.
The bird sanctuary is now in need of donations, mainly tiny bottles of spf 2000 sunblock, for this bird and the remaining few left in the wild.
You too can help out by trekking into the woods and dropping small bottles of wine, sunblock and ham sandwiches under every other pine tree.

LOL.. Man Jules, you definately have way too much time on your hands. I guess I had better be glad we dont have that turkey vulture in yet.

Eddie.. thats an interesting article there. Almost as good as the pic it'self but as far as the donations go... Just send money instead.
