The Golden Eagle really has amazing feather detail. This beautiful raptor was seen at the Coaldale Bird of Prey Centre, near Lethbridge, southern Alberta, a week ago. I was there with a bunch of friends again today - and again, the weather was great. This time, I had the chance to have a Barn Owl on my (gloved) hand, as well as the tiny Burrowing Owl. Also got some better (but still rather distant) photos of a gorgeous Western Tanager flying around the grounds there.

There were six adults and dozens of tiny goslings when we went to the Coaldale Bird of Prey Centre yesterday (I was very lucky to go there last Saturday, too, thanks to Ron!) This photo shows just a few of the MANY : ) There are several ponds at the Centre and wild Pelicans and the usual assortment of ducks and birds have discovered these areas.
