Bald Eagle on ice, Antelope Island State Park, Davis County, UtahBald Eagle on ice

Some times during the middle of summer I start thinking about shorter days, brisk mornings, snow and winter birds.  I’m not really wishing summer would go away but start looking forward to a new season and the opportunities that will bring.

I photographed this adult Bald Eagle as it perched on ice covering the Great Salt Lake in early morning light in January 2012. I liked the golden light on this handsome bird of prey. I haven’t seen many eagles out on the lake the past few years but maybe that is because the lake has been drying up.

Only a short post this morning because I overslept a bit.

Life is good.
