Bald Eagle Squeaking

I was astonished to hear what a small voice this eagle has. Nearby, the golden eagle sang its raucous song which could be heard through much of the zoo. This eagle squawked back in high-pitched notes.

 

There are a number of raptors at the zoo. 

This barred owl sat quietly on its perch. A nocturnal bird, it may wait until evening to become more vocal.

This red-tailed hawk obligingly turned its back to us to let us admire its rusty tail feathers. I had to keep reminding myself that these birds could not survive in the wild. I hate to see birds caged.

When I got home the moon was rising -almost full.
