Bald is Beautiful... - a photo on Flickriver

            EXPLORE:  February 27, 2009
It was a balmy January day around beautiful Lake McConaughy in Western Nebraska.  This mature Bald Eagle was out cruising.  More than likely looking for a little lunch.  I cannot seem to break away from these beautiful raptors.  It will be a long spring and summer wating for their return.  Guess I will have to go golfing and forget about them for a few months.

Please view in large size.
