Photo of the Day

Juvenile golden eagles land on photographer Frank Craighead in Laramie, Wyoming. The golden eagle has been able to survive in the Rocky Mountain region chiefly because of its wariness. This photo was featured in a May 1940 issue where Frank and his twin brother, John, embarked on a quest to find these rare birds.
