Any guesses who I am rooting for in the Super Bowl?

Eagles are of course my absolute favorite photo subject so the answer is obvious. Go Philadelphia Eagles!

Yesterday’s photo drive had me covering a lot of ground, initially going to a spot I hoped would bring a bevy of Bald Eagles but one that turned out to be a dud.

On the way back I hit up some of my usual spots and was happy to find this beautiful mated pair hanging out over a frozen pond at St. Vrain State Park, Colorado. They gave me some nice poses on what was a bit of a blustery day as you can tell from their ruffled plumage.

The image does a nice job showing the size difference between male and female Bald Eagles. The male (bottom) is clearly smaller than his mate (top).
