This is a two year old Bald Eagle, JACKSON, who came here today from the Teton Raptor Center in Wilson, WY.  They don't have a flite barn and she's been very unhappy in the mews they've been keeping her in.  She was caught in a snare back in January which damaged the secondary feathers on her right wing.  They still haven't molted back in.  She also has a bit of a tilt to her head which has no explanation.  It was thought that by being in a larger, free flight area, she may calm down and work out the kinks that bother her.  Only time will tell.
This is a fuzzy photo, I'll try to get a better one after she gets used to me.
