Not a 6 Foot Turkey

In Sitka when we refer to the raptor center we aren't talking about the big-toothed, huge-clawed things from Jurassic Park.  No, we are talking about the cool facility that rehabilitates birds of all kinds, but specializes in eagles and other birds of prey.  According to their website they take care of 100+ birds a year.  Most are able to be released back in to the wild.  When a release happens the public is invited to attend.  Yesteday we got to see 2 bald eagles released.  One was an adult and the other a 1 yr. old juvenile.  Today they did 3 more.  These birds are so cool and majestic.  This is a video from my regular digital camers of the juvenile being released.
