Wilma is an American Bald Eagle and currently a resident at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. She was wounded by gunshot somewhere out west, but now is under special care.
The American Bald Eagle has been taken off the endangered and threatened lists as of last month but is still protected by the Bald Eagle Act (so it is still illegal to own one of their feathers, much less a bird). ~ thanks to Libba!
Photos taken in a series August 6, 2007 with Canon G7.
