Golden Eagle (Family Accipitridae, Aquila chrysaetos). Golden Eagles often have a division of labour while hunting: one partner drives the prey to its waiting partner. They have very good eyesight and can spot prey from a long distance. The talons are used for killing and carrying the prey, the beak is used only for eating. The talons of a Golden Eagle are thought to be more powerful than the hand and arm strength of any human being. Their prey includes marmots, hares and mice, and sometimes birds, martens, foxes, young deer, and livestock including lambs and kids. During winter months when prey is scarce, Golden Eagles scavenge on carrion to supplement their diet.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
I stopped by to let you know I gave you high marks in the voting booth. I enjoyed it and saved.

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

Full size this photograph is really wonderful, with the light shining on him and every feather clear and sharp.
As is the beak :)
