Not really particularly extraordinary pics of this fantastic raptor but I always love getting a chance to see them. I came across this handsome fellow Sunday as it sat in a tree, staking out a prairie dog colony below.
Despite the opportunity for a meal, it wasn’t too interested in eating, instead just sitting for an hour, enjoying the chilly morning. It did eventually fly to a more distant tree but that was about it for the action.
It is little wonder that golden eagles are the most common official national animal in the world with Albania, Germany, Austria, Mexico, and Kazakhstan all choosing the golden eagle to represent them. They are truly impressive.
