Description

Bald Eagle flying in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at sunrise. The golden light of dawn is lighting up both the eagle and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

This is a composite of two photos -- of the eagle and of the mountains, taken separately and combined for this image.

The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. These powerful birds of prey are powerful predators and use their talons to fish, but they get many of their meals by scavenging carrion or stealing the kills of other animals. Look for them soaring in solitude, chasing other birds for their food, or gathering by the hundreds in winter. Once endangered by hunting and pesticides, Bald Eagles have flourished under protection.

Photo of the eagle taken on February 21, 2020, near Hygiene, Colorado, photo of the Rocky Mountans taken in 2017 near my home in Louisville, Colorado.
