Boise has a Center for Birds of Prey. They do conservation and breeding work for threatened species.
Here is a Bateleur Eagle (local to the savanna's and open woodlands of Africa). Apparently, this bird's facial feathers can change color, depending on mood.
Honestly, this shot was a bugger - very dark environment, with a moving bird, to boot. The lovely blues on the side are his bars.
