Getting a good closeup portrait of an eagle in the wild is a tough proposition, unless you've got either a 1,000-mm. telephoto or the patience of Job and the stalking skills of an Iroquois. Having none of those, I got this one shooting through wire mesh at an outdoor aviary at the zoo in Duluth. The result seems OK to me.

Your trip to the zoo was just in time. I presume you heard the news reports about flooding in the area and particularly at the zoo where some animals died and other escaped.
Great photos by the way. No sign of the fences.
