Oh, I was stuck on this SPT, but then I made a visit to The Alberta Birds of Prey Centre on the weekend, and voila!

I found an American symbol in my own back yard.

They let me hold the owls, but not the bald eagle - I guess there was a chance he'd break my arm with the strength of his talons.
So this is as close as I got. He's a very striking bird, and fits my image of America much better than a turkey!
Welcome home Michelle!

Perfect, Barb! What a sport.
What great shots. What a great place to visit.
I never knew they had a place to see a bald eagle like that. Very cool and definitely American!!
i love the eagle photo! great crossover post!
The rules haven't changed from last summer, I see. That was such a fun place to visit. You take the best self-portraits. I don't know how you manage to catch so much in your photo -- I have trouble with that!
I just love these photos - what an experience. I've always wondered what it would be like! Great SPT!
Yes, I agree that the eagle is much better than the turkey, as symbols go! That last photo is awesome! Good thinking.
Great Eagle post and pictures. For sure this captures America.
that's fantastic!
I'm impressed! That first eagle photo is amazing. I was laughing to myself and thinking "what no picture with the bird?" and then sure enough you managed to get one! Nice. Why am I having a hard time with this post?
Wow awesome! Great post.
Bald eagles really fascinate me. And I'm not sure I wouldn't have freaked out being so close to an owl. There is something about them that make me nervous. Those big eyes that never shut, perhaps:)
I loved your Canadian twist to this!
great photos! I agree with Kelly that you take some of the best self portrait pictures!
Truly perfect. What a fun place to visit, indeed. Those creatures always awe me in person...I can only imagine what *that close* would be like.
I love all the pictures. And I agree, you take the best self-portraits, and what a sport to join in our American self-centeredness.
