Cleopatra is a non-releasable captive who arrived at California Foundation for
Birds of Prey near death from West Nile virus. She has been cured of the virus
but the illness caused neurological damage so she can't seen clearly at close
range. She can fly perfectly well, and her distance vision is superb, but she
crashes into things when landing and can't catch prey.

For those who want to spot photos of captive birds: ordinarily you won't see a
dark background behind a wild Golden Eagle.
Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, shoulder stock & monopod. All comments
welcome.
