Auburn / Louisiana Tech - Bald Eagle "Spirit" gets the crowd ready

This is the bald eagle named Spirit being released to fly over the crowd before the first Auburn Tiger home football game this year, Sept. 5, 2009. As you can see she came very close and flew right in front of us in Section 112. It was taken w/ a Canon point and shoot camera so the video isn't "stellar"...but enjoyable nonetheless. Enjoy and War Eagle!!!
