Julia

Meet 21 year old Golden Eagle, Julia. Julia is another of the beautiful birds of prey that I had the privilege of seeing at the presentation by Bill Streeter of Delaware Valley Raptor Center earlier this month. Julia was hit by a car and, as a result, is blind in her right eye and unable to fly. Julia weighs 14 pounds and has feathers from the top of her head right to her toes, which is why Golden Eagles are also called Booted Eagles. They are one of the most powerful eagles in the world and Julia is an exceptional ambassador of her species.
