 A cool morning (-18 ) today, but I was rewarded with these Bald Eagles.

 Exciting day today, I had heard there was a rare sighting of a Pacific Loon at Lafarge Meadows so I headed out hoping to cash in on a photo opp. I wasn't disappointed.

It's always thrilling to get a picture of a Bald Eagle......

But two in one tree.......
How about three in the same shot, WOW......

And then there were hundreds of American Coots.


And to top it off some neat shots of snow covered Pine Cones....
