Bald Eagle in Flight

I captured this photograph near my home in Louisiana a couple of years ago while out walking with my dogs. Suddenly, a bald eagle soared overhead, creating an unforgettable moment. Though these majestic birds do inhabit Louisiana, spotting one is rare—unlike in some northern regions where they can be as common as pigeons.

Carved up two little egg prints--a raptor and a pegasai--that I intend to print on fabric as patches. I'm really pleased with how the pegasai turned out.

Name: Rapator ornitholestoides 

Name Meaning: Plunderer resembling ornitholestes 

First Described: 1932

Described By: Huene 

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Tyrannosauroidea, Megaraptora

Rapator is another megaraptor from Australia, found in the Griman Creek Formation of New South Wales. It was about nine meters long but it is only known from a finger bone. It lived in the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous, about 105 million years ago. The name is actually thought to be a wrong spelling of the word raptor. Its finger is very similar to that of Ornitholestes, prompting its specific name. After the discovery of Astralovenator, it was classified as a meagaraptoran, and since the two are so similar it was briefly a dubious genus. However, enough differences have been found between the two, and they are separated both by time and by location, making them unlikely to be the same. More material should be found, however, before any more statements about the genus can be made.
