Want to share in this guy’s dinner? Looks pretty yummy, eh?

Not exactly great quality pics given the long distance and hefty crop I had to do but still some fun action. I had spent a while watching this handsome fellow and his mate when he took flight and disappeared over a hill. Less than five minutes later, he appeared on a pole behind me on private property.

Here in Colorado we don’t have a lot of bodies of water so bald eagle’s don’t always get their preferred meal of fish. They do quite well though settling for more terrestrial fare like prairie dogs, rabbits and even other birds now and then.
