Shake It Off
Photograph by Michael Pachis, National Geographic Your Shot
The Memphis Zoo houses bald eagles that have been injured too badly to be returned to the wild, writes Your Shot member Michael Pachis. Usually the eagles are perched in their tree watching the visitors. However, this time I noticed one ... hopping on the ground toward a water pool in the aviary. He surprised me by dunking his entire head in the water before coming up shaking.

The closest I came to celebrating Easter this year, was to watch a Jewish gal (my wife) rise from her sleep. That enough of a miracle for me.

I can almost feel the drops of water hitting me. Look at all those feathers standing up to allow water under them!
Happy Easter, Crewleader. Hope the Easter Bunny was good to you.
