America's Bird

Bald Eagle, originally uploaded by Cielo Azul Images.

While driving home yesterday afternoon from a speaking engagement at a church north of us, we decided to take the back roads home and see some areas of Colorado that we had never been to. Our time at the church went great, and the drive home was stunning. We were able to see numerous old homesteads which made us wonder what life must have been like all those years ago. This time of year we also get a lot of Bald Eagles in our area, and we were fortunate to come across this one as he perched in a dead cottonwood tree, looking for lunch.
