So cool...we have a Golden Eagle hacking project where I used to live in Georgia...would see them soaring overhead and Lord have mercy, they were huge. Looked like a B52 overhead!
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

Thank you for that - such exquisite photography - and she looks like a lovely girl who seems really to enjoy working with her eagle as well as the other aspects of her life. Wow - if only every kid could experience something so wild and wonderful - and so close to the reality of nature.
We have some Goldens here, and they are fabulous birds. I love to watch them hunt - which they often do in pairs. Very effective.

Man that's one awesome looking critter.
Massive and tenacious birds. I've seen the wolf hunting vids and they truly blew my mind.
