A juvenile bald eagle traverses across a frozen lake on a winter morning in search of food. Bald eagles feed mostly on injured birds or fish, sometimes 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.
