Treasures from Our West: three bald eagles

Originally featured in Points West in Winter 2010

Photographer Gabby Barrus’s Three Bald Eagles in Winter

Three bald eagles gather on a branch with hints of winter all around—the bare tree limbs, signs of a light snow on the forest in the background, and what looks like a gray, cold day. The image is from the Gabby Barrus Collection, and is one of thousands of digital images in the collections of the McCracken Research Library available for purchase through the Library’s section of our website. Visit the library’s digital photograph collection to browse. Clicking on any of the digital collections listed takes viewers to thumbnail images and the searchable database of available photographs.

This Treasure was originally published in Points West magazine as a “One picture is worth a thousand words” feature from our McCracken Research Library’s amazing historic photograph collection, accessible for research and publication through our Rights & Reproductions Office. To learn more about the full range of photographic resources, contact the library at 307.578.4063.
