Raptors
I had an interesting assignment this afternoon. I went to Geitner Park to photograph the release of a rehabilitated bald eagle. This event was held by the Carolina Raptor Center and the Catawba Science Center. I didn't catch any really great photos of the bald eagle though. It was a rather quick process. The eagle was wrapped up. When it was unwrapped, it was released very quickly. The vantage point I chose for the eagle release turned out to be a poor one, so I don't have any great photos of that, but I turned in what I had and decided to shoot some 'portraits' for myself of the other birds they had on display at the event. The above bird is a red-tailed hawk that is a permanent resident of the Carolina Raptor Center, and the photo below is a barred owl from the same source.
