i just got word from my friend who co-moderates the redding.com forums with me

:(

http://www.redding.com/news/2008/jul/16/wounded-bald-eagle-succumbs-to-injuries/

I'm also entering this into WhiteFriday2 since we fondly called out WHITE HEAD WHITE TAIL as our code words for GRAB the CAMERAS!

I'm so stinking mad right now!!!!!

Gorgeous bird...Sorry that happened, Lisa...

Why do you need a code of, "White head white tail?" Do they understand, "Grab the camera!" and flee?? ;-)

I hope they catch the SOB before he can do this again. I cannot understand how people can get pleasure from cruel acts.

Hahahaha dream on!
Some tourist last week wanted to hold it. I was like ya right. It had the big ass lens on it. I said you got 5 grand to replace it if you drop it? Um no
Well then don't ask silly questions
He wanted to use it as binoculars to see the martin mars better
Pfft

Pretty darn sad to think someone would find pleasure in simply murdering an animal. I'd like to take MY shotgun and fire a few in his ass...after reading that article, I am angry about this too...no reason for this. None!
Jul 16 2008 19:43 GMT LisaSam67 PRO
Not a one :-(

So sad about the eagle - what a majestic bird. Hope the guy who did that gets shingles on his ass and his arms shrink so he can't scratch himself....

Fabulous photo and magnificent entry for this week Lisa.
However, the news of the eagle succumbing is soo sad.
We have so few of them, and they are such magnificent birds.
It does anger me that some idiot with a gun robbed us of one of these wonderful birds.
Jul 17 2008 19:45 GMT Carlimauda
What a sad news Lisa........though a great capture!

Awesome Capture Lisa!!!!!!

Well, you've done this beautiful creature great justice in capturing him like this, birdie. I'm sorry to hear he didn't make it, but that being said it would also have been a shame if he were unable to fly again and spent the rest of his days grounded...this gorgeous bird is meant to fly. I'd like 5 minutes with the bastard that shot him...just 5 minutes.
