Seeing lots of Eagles this year. These two were perched on top of the power poles by the McKenzie Bridge.

The morning sun hitting the frost coated grasses made for some nice shots.

Today I photographed a Bald Eagle dining on an unlucky Mallard Duck for breakfast.

 On a sand bar in the middle of the Bow River with lots of Magpies waiting for the leftovers

 He takes off with his catch to a tree on the other side of the river

 Another Bald Eagle is watching in the same tree

 Here he is with Mallard hanging below. If you look closely there is a Magpie again waiting for leftovers.

 Very out of focus but he suddenly takes off again.....

....with breakfast, looking for a more private place to dine.

This White-Breasted Nuthatch put on a show for me today and was very cooperative while I photographed him.

Then I spotted this juvenile Bald Eagle in a tree and watched him for quite a while before he decided to take off.
