I took the following photos at the Arcata Community Center,. These birds are all residents of Wildlife Images  Rehab and Education center in Grants Pass Oregon. The first is Phoenix a Golden Eagle that was hand raised and imprinted to humans so cannot be released to the wild.

What beautiful creatures!  I kept thinking "Now THIS one is the most beautiful" and then I'd click on the next ...

I notice Buddy has his head turned almost backwards ... I'd heard owls can do this but have never seen one do it!

I love Phoenix, the Golden Eagle, too! 

Great shots, Marilyn   :thumbsup:

I agree, Jane.  The birds are totally beautiful.  How I love pictures like this!  You did good work.

I wonder how many people realize that God gave us instructions about our responsibility regarding what he has created?

Rev. 7:3  Hurt not the Earth, Neither the Sea, Nor the trees.

The human species will one day have much to answer for.....

What great photos, Marilyn!  Those are some birds!  I don't think we have a place like that around here.

Jane Opal the Snowy Owl  turned her heads allthe way around while I stood there and watched her.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

Our sermon today was about God's creations.  Not just a rose.  God's rose.  So these aren't just birds.  They are God's birds and beautiful beyond belief!  Thanks for posting them.
