From a random encounter earlier this month. Driving along, I spotted this beautiful eagle hanging out on a high-tension power pole running through the suburbs northwest of Denver, Colorado.

Given the location and the height of the tower, I wasn’t too inclined to stop until I noticed a pedestrian bridge went right by the pole and provided closer proximity.

That allowed me to get relatively close to the bird and I spent a good 20 minutes photographing it as it kept watch. It finally took flight, going right overhead giving me a nice sequence of images.
