Bald Eagle

The Lindsay Wildlife Hospital and Museum, Walnut Creek, California

As a volunteer for the Live Collection of non-releasable birds,

I handled injured hawks and owls, falcons and vultures, on the glove.

I showered the eagle, brought songbirds to an outdoor aviary,

and shared the thrill of being close to these charismatic creatures with the public.
