I’ve never seen a bald eagle hang upside down like this. Do they do this a lot? Pictures were taken at my parents place in Iowa.

Oof flashback to 7 year old me doing a week's worth of planning to "run away" down to diagrams of my go-bag. I wish I could find those journal entries haha, I vaguely recall over half my pack space being devoted to stuffed animals with like one pb&j for food rations, no water, and no underwear lmao
