Bald Eagle Flight at Reds Games - Cincinnati Zoo.m2t

"Sam," the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's eight-year-old bald eagle is preparing for his five special flights during the 2011 season at Great American Ball Park. Sam will fly more than 300 feet from the Riverboat Deck in center field to his trainer's glove in the infield. He will perform his first flight during the singing of the National Anthem on the May 28th game.
Since Sam made his Major League debut in 2003, he has flown in 40 games and is in his 8th season for the Reds

His wings are clipped and his feet are bound together. This is sad to see, really.

He actually has a wing injury that prevents him from being able to fly well enough to be released
