3. Actually, I think that's the head of a red-tailed hawk. :)
So, they didn't even have the wrong eagle. They had a hawk. :D Chickenhawks! :)

"Eagle Call" and assumed it was an eagle.

(snicker)

On edit:

I was sort of wondering if it was a Swainson's... white chin, but it also has light eyes. (I'm really awful at raptor head shots.)

13. The redtail has a white area just below the chin.


The above is a headshot of a redtail.

Here's a good page with lots of photos: http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/red-tailed_hawk.htm

It doesn't help that both the Swainson's and the redtail seem to have light and dark color morphs. There was a white redtail that lived in the vicinity of my Fresno apartment with a normally-colored mate. I saw it frequently.

I'm no raptor expert, so I won't vouch for the headshot definitely being that of a redtail. It's definitely not the wrong (or golden) eagle, though. :D Should we call golden eagles the "wrong" eagles from now on?

12. Actually I think the Bald Eagle is on union salary.
you know Republicans and unions.

I think they picked the hawk up off of Interstate 20 on one of those phone poles. Much easier and less expensive.

7. WTF does "have her day" mean? "message to the world"
With a hawk? Is that like, 'make my day?' WTF? It sounds very vengeful and notice the standing WTC towers.

What are they promoting here? It's NEOCON take over the world crap.

14. y'know, earlier this month a hawk attacked my doves
they were in the cage and didn't really notice, but that's another story.
Think it's an omen? (like the President!)

15. I think the Bald Eagle has refused to be a symbol on behalf of the
Republicans. Wouldn't you? When I read that logo of theirs in the lower left corner, I read it as GoPussy at first glance. I guess I don't hold them in high regard. Although I have nothing against cats!

17. hey stop the war
great handle, by the way....

i'm with you 100% on that...

But where did you happen to find that photo?

Perhaps at a certain little blog which has recently been focusing on PLAGIARISM!

Next time give a link for your source.



To everyone on this thread...for context along with the picture go here:
http://www.whyareweback.blogspot.com

and...yeah...my guess is that it's supposed to be a phoenix....because of the message written on the poster...

peace
