Fluidr / Off on a hunt! by Hilary Bralove

Baldies over ice!
This is a great time of year in Colorado to see bald eagles. We have a few nesting pairs, but we also have a large population of migrant eagles that like to hang out here during the winter. A couple of weeks ago I had the good fortune of finding both a sub adult and mature bald eagle doing some ice fishing on a cold and overcast day. Here are a few of the images I captured.
