Ahhh...the cloacal kiss!

Oh my! Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in Maryland, USA contributed by Danny Stevenson photographe.

Unfortunately, the Red Shouldered hawk that presented Friday was humanely euthanized. While I didn't receive details whether the skull was actually fractured, the blow to the top of the head was hard enough rupture the lower left orbit.

Thanks to the finders who captured him, Julie Wooten on Inn for telling them what to do and the crew at Appalachian VCA for triage.
