I found the pictures of Ed and Buddy--and more-- right on my own facebook page. Buddy was glorious and so grown up!! It looked as though he was behaving quite well for his trainer. Thanks so much to Jim Deal, one of the eagle papprazzi who is at the NBG a lot photographing the eagles, for all of these beautiful Buddy pictures --Lots of them!!!
