Bald Eagle


Another photo of the Bald Eagle at the Coaldale Birds of Prey Centre in southern Alberta. A Bald Eagle is 31" long and has a wingspan of 80". It takes 4 to 5 years to acquire adult plumage. I have seen many Bald Eagles in the wild, but never this close.
On 23rd July, I spent a wonderful day with a friend who had asked if I'd like to go to the Coaldale Birds of Prey Centre, near Lethbridge, southern Alberta. It was just over a two-hour drive there and the temperature down south was 37C (roughly 98.6F)! They have injured birds there and they use them for educational purposes or to release back into the wild if possible.
This Centre is "Canada’s largest birds of prey facility. Situated on a 70-acre wetland area site, the centre is a celebration of nature featuring the hawks, falcons, eagles and owls of Alberta. Throughout the site and along the pathways, a number of birds of prey are sitting on their perches only feet away from visitors. These birds are all in various stages of training and receive lots of exercise in the daily flying programs. At the centre, they have one of North America's largest captive breeding populations for the endangered Burrowing Owl."
