Eagle Redux

By Charlie

Lest you forget how amazing this country is, here’s a picture of a hunting eagle.

We met this eagle on a trip outside of UB two weeks ago. On our way to the fabulous Ayenchin lodge, our driver spotted a guy in a field training this eagle how to hunt. The eagle didn’t really seem to like the training, but she agreed to perch on my arm for a picture.

And this is pretty much what it looks like just 50 kilometers outside of UB.

Cold, but beautiful.
