A juvenile bald eagle traverses across a frozen lake on a winter morning in search of food. Bald eagles feed mostly on fish, often stolen from more skillful fishing birds. In winter, they tend to gather in around frozen lakes and rivers, where breaks in the surface ice provide a source of fish. I noticed the eagle warming up on the lake a little earlier. Soon, it started to scour an area where there was a break in the ice sheet, for fish. I liked the scene presented by dark eagle framed in the open winter landscape.

Marsh Wren Territorial Singing
I was photographing water birds in the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge one morning and turned around to see this male marsh wren close-by, observing me. He then proceeded to advertise his territory on a variety of perches providing me with several photo opportunities. These active wrens have several songs in their repertoire which they go through in succession. Their song sequences are commonly heard in our marshes through spring and summer.
