Bald eagle chomps down on a fuzzy breakfast

A fine meal for this gorgeous bald eagle. Not a very good day for the prairie dog. 😀

Bald eagle season returns to the Colorado plains! I saw six eagles yesterday although I only got good pics of this one. One of my friends (thank you, Patrick!) gave me a heads up that two were in this spot and I was headed that way so, of course, had to stop. It was a ‘pole bird’ so not an ideal perch but I was able to crop the image to eliminate the undesirable elements. Definitely an intense look on this guy as he worked on wrapping up his meal.
