You know it's cold when an icicle forms on your beak between the time you graze the river and your back above flying reconnaissance for another dive . . .

At a secret location every winter when the river freezes over, eagles from far and wide gather to compete in the "Let's Catch Some Fish" contest . . .

Watched this beauty glide with grace over the water for quite some time, mesmerized by a smooth operator . . .

An almost adult bald eagle wants what the adult eagle has in its talons . . . a fish. Of course it's the only fish around for miles . . . Not!

The American Bald Eagle is Master of the Skies . . .

Juvenile Bald Eagles have some of the most beautiful feathering as it changes from year to year while on their journey to adulthood around 5 years of age . . .
