When a bald eagle is injured, one veterinarian goes to great lengths trying to save it...and makes a connection in the process.

Okay, now I gotta post an offsetting eagle piece. -Except I don't have any. But it's amusing to see them being harassed by small birds, whose territorial views differ. Eagles just can't land on any tree they feel like. That's why you usually see them on dead or half-dead 'lookout posts', barren of limbs. Easy on, easy off. But smaller birds regard a particular tree as a 'territorial' totem. Not a 20-square-mile expanse, which is how an eagle looks at it.
It was nice of them to stop and help. I certainly would have. I'll be on eagle watch over on the IWS.org site... Last I checked they were nest building....Its live, nothing barred on the visual end of things....
At the river they are coming and going finding open water to fish either at Dayton dam or @ starved rock by the lock and dam, you can see hundreds there.
Such majestic birds of prey.
