Hawkfest | Haliaeetus leucocephalus
From Hawkfest over the weekend, a celebration of the annual fall migration of birds of prey - hawks, owls, eagles, falcons and vultures.
Soaring through the shadows, she unhooks
the wind from its shackles.

The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle, which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico.
