my bird was back

My daughter was cleaning her rabbits pen yesterday, and had the rabbit in a "grass pen" but for some reason the rabbit didn't want to stay in it. then my daughter hears some chuttering and turned around to see our "bird" in the tree right behind her. apparently waiting for the big scary person to get away from the Delicious rabbit dinner she had put out for it.

We had about a half an hour to watch and take pictures of this wonderful bird. Michelle's chuttering that she heard we later matched up with a bald eagle call that we found online. so we are pretty convinced that this is indeed a juvenile bald eagle. we have sent our snapshots off to some experts for a "legal confirmation.

although, with more reserach, i am still not 100% convinced this could be a red tailed hawk juvenile too... you just never really know without years of education.

after showing these pictures to many people, the general idea is that this is a juvenile red tailed hawk NOT an eagle. Bummer
