This is the only contained animal image I have. I had just dropped off two canvases to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, MN for a donation. The director asked me cheerfully: "Mark, do you want to take some pictures of our eagles?" When I graciously declined she got really quiet and softly said: "Ohhh". Then she asked why and I said; "Because I only photography wild, not contained animals". Well that was the wrong answer! I could tell she was offended, so quickly changing that answer I said "Wait, the camera is in the truck...I'd be happy to take a shot".
I went back to where "Angel" was and sat with her until she settled down. I began chirping like an eagle. She started to get excited and finally threw her head back and "click" here is the shot.
