"Yes, not everyone thanks a deity for their survival and nobody should thank their god for a vicious tornado that wiped out so much of what people owned and even took lives, especially the lives of innocent children.

Great pics, Barry. Love 'em. According to Wikipedia, this is part of their range. It extends from Alaska to northern Mexico, including all of Canada and the continuous U.S. From Atlantic to Pacific oceans, from the Gulf to the Arctic. What a range. And what magnificent creatures.

I took these two shots of Bald Eagles in Beaumont Texas today. Near a city park called Tyrrell Park. I was about 160 yards away with a 300mm lens. I hope to get back out there and find a better vantage point with out bothering them.

Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
Natalie A Sera commented on Dallas the Phallus's group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS"And then, just to confuse things, there's polymath, which is from the Greek poly = much and manthanein = to learn. So, someone who knows a lot. Or at least enough to know that you can get a second crop from that field! Sorry, couldn't…"
