Bald Eagle

When I photographed this bird 3 weeks ago I thought that there was

no way it could live with such a grievous injury to it's upper beak

for there would be no way it could eat. I saw it again yesterday, so

it is surviving. It either has a mate that is feeding it or it is

living on frogs, etc. I would guess that "if" the beak grows back

(which there is a chance of) it would take at least a year. I wish

it luck.

A very dramatic photo, good focus and composition. I'm surprised that the eagle allowed you to get this close considering it's injury.

Amazing photograph.. BTW: As a Federally protected species no expense would be spared to catch and rehabilitate this bird and return it to the wild. Contact you local Fish & Game Dept. ASPCA or Department Of The Interior and let them know about it... Might even make a good photo series.

I did contact the Dept of Fish & Game, and the ASPCA. They were indifferent about it. Probably for the best anyway seeing that it is surviving on its own.

Incredible image.

Great story. Super capture!

Captures the essence of its survival problem. Hope it survives.

Truly outstanding shot.
