Bald eagle launches into a Colorado snowstorm

One of the two eagles from the picture I shared earlier this week of them riding out the storm. After a while, this one decided perhaps to seek out a less open spot and took flight. As you can see, it was snowing heavily at that time and the snow had actually accumulated on its body and talons. When it launched, chunks of snow went flying, adding to the storm. Given the limited visibility – and the cold – it was kind of tough to fully appreciate the scene when I was out there but am glad I did!
