I took these a few days ago, at a small area Zoo.
They have a nice collection of Raptors, including:
Bald & Golden Eagles, Red-Tailed Hawk, Broad-Winged Hawk, Great-horned Owl, Barred Owl & Snowy Owl, & Turkey Vultures.
I know these aren't perfect shots (shooting thru small fences is challenging, leading to annoying shadows).
But I like the variety of Raptors.
I got to see a Golden Eagle on a recent field -trip, but missed getting
Hope you enjoy these

I really like the close up of the owl.

Thank you Ron
I believe I was at the same raptor center many years ago. You could look across to the Wisconsin side. Beautiful birds!

Hi Jim
Actually this was taken in Byron MN at the Zolman zoo
It's a small but nicely run area zoo.

Very nice photos, Jim! I've never seen The Golden Eagle before. And the Snow Owl shot without a cage makes a big difference!

Thank you Eugene
The Golden Eagle is fairly uncommon here. A fierce Eagle that lives in the Northern Hemisphere.
I liked the Snowy, I was talking to the bird, and he would look at me briefly
