Are you aware of the Bald Eagles named "George" and "Martha" ? Their eaglets are pictured on a gold coin released by the U.S. Mint to honor the national bird. Since the 1990s the pair had lived on the Potomac River just south of Washington. The birds made national headlines several years ago when a younger female, making a move for George, attacked Martha, seriously injuring her. Martha recovered at a rescue center and made her way back to George but was euthanized months later after flying into a tree or power line. Anyway, just a little trivia. You might see George and his new mate. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04... The last time I was at the Conowingo Dam photographing the Bald Eagles, I took this image of a group of Great Blue Heron's. This photo reminded me of the "Where's Waldo" book. Can you find all of the Great Blues ? |
