15. little eagle balls. dead giveaway.
Edited on Tue May-20-08 08:42 PM by jakem


there was a reference there to the eagle being black (aka - like obama) but no female eagle (like hillary)

sorry if this was too subtle.

4. Yep, thanks to the Crow Nation.
They also gave him the Crow name "Awe Kooda bilaxpak Kuuxshish" (One who helps people throughout the land).

Now that's one hell of a compliment.

3. Great pic! I've never heard of a black eagle.
What country is it native to?

5. According to Wiki ...
"The Black Eagle breeds in southern Asia from Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka to Southeast Asia. It is a bird of mountain woodland."

13. Ran Across one of these in Afghanistan
Beautiful bird, but scared the CRAP out of me one day. Three HUMVEES driving along a heavily wooded mountain trail. We had windows open, because a bunch of unwashed sweaty dudes can stink up a hummer something fierce. This was a pretty isolated area and we didn't expect any hostiles to be in the vicinity so we were somewhat relaxed. All of a sudden there is a deafening screech and a bird that seem like it was (at the time) the size of a helicopter came shooting out of the trees and buzzed our hummer before flying off along the mountain-side. We suspect (but didn't go back to check) that we drove close to it's nest. In any case, I think the four of us in the hummer simultaneously filled our pants. Give me the Taliban any day over an angry black eagle.

11. Yes, I'm tired of being led by old, white, bald eagles. About time we had a black eagle as, um, bird
What was my point again?
