A golden visitor

We received a Golden Eagle from another rehabilitation organization in Wasilla this past week. Alaska Wildbird Rehabilitation has had this bird for a while now. It was determined that it needed some flight time to build up it's strength to see if it can be released.

I took it out to our Flight Center on Wednesday. AWR doesn't have a facility like this. They have only been around about 2 years now.

I'll let you tell me what you think. Do you think this bird liked having a little more space to fly around more freely?

She is a little out of shape for flying, but once she gets that flight shape back we'll see how she'll do. I fed her a rabbit and then left her alone. I went back later on delivering some salmon, she was on the high perches.
