With the Double Eagles

During the first snowfall of the season a week and a half ago I looked out and there were the two eagles in the tree across the lake. The hints of color still in the leaves contrasted nicely with the snow and black and white of the birds.

Eagle Collage

The other week the Bald Eagle at the lake by my apartment came swooping from the tree and onto the water. I didn't have time to set the camera to take a quick succession of pictures but I did manage to get these four showing what happened.
