    This fiery bald eagle lets out a loud screech to the surprise of the photographer. After injuring its wing on a power line in an unfortunate mishap, this individual was rescued and nursed to health by a raptor rehabilitation centre in Ontario. Ultimately, this eagle was unable to fend for itself in the wild due to its disability, and lives at the centre as an "ambassador" bird.
