I am grateful for many wonderful and talented photographers who are willing to share their incredible work. I want to acknowledge their commitment (and investment), to capture these beautiful images so we can learn about this beautiful golden eaglet, “Goldie”. Below are photos of her and her parents starting in late May up to today. Credits: Ann Schonlau, Madeline Hopkins, David Stephens with more photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcstep/ , Mike and Susan Molloy with more photos at:http://mikehikes.blogspot.com/ , Dan Baldwin, and John Mattera.
