Another one of those lifeless, nondescript sunsets without any
drama or color. Just a palm tree...and some clouds. ~ Florida Everglades

In Honor ~ on Memorial Day ~ Orlando, FL

For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue. ~ President James A. Garfield at the first Memorial Day observance on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery May 30th, 1868

**********************************************************************************

The Bald Eagle is both the national bird and national animal of the United States of America.
The Bald Eagle appears on its Seal. In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extirpation in the continental United States. Populations recovered and the species was removed from the U.S. federal government's list of endangered species on July 12, 1995 and transferred to the list of threatened species. It was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States on June 28, 2007. The average lifespan of Bald Eagles in the wild is around 20 years, with the oldest confirmed one having been 28 years of age. ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_Eagle

The Scarlet Macaw is a large, red, yellow and blue South American parrot. It has suffered from local extinction through habitat destruction and capture for the parrot trade, but locally it remains fairly common. It is the national bird of Honduras. The plumage is mostly scarlet, but the rump and tail-covert feathers are light blue, the greater upper wing coverts are yellow, the upper sides of the flight feathers of the wings are dark blue as are the ends of the tail feathers, and the undersides of the wing and tail flight feathers are dark red with metallic gold iridescence. Some individuals may have green in the wings.

There is bare white skin around the eye and from there to the bill. Tiny white feathers are contained on the face patch. The upper mandible is mostly pale horn in color and the lower is black. Juveniles have dark eyes; adults have light yellow eyes. It is frequently confused with the slightly larger Green-winged Macaw, which has more distinct red lines in the face and no yellow in the wing. Scarlet Macaws make very loud, high and sometimes low-pitched, throaty squawks, squeaks and screams designed to carry many miles to call for their groups. The Scarlet Macaw can live up to 75 years in captivity, although a more typical lifespan is 40 to 50 years. ~ Scarlet Macaw ~ Orlando, Florida
