This American/Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is perched above a snow covered field near Carbondale, Garfield County, Colorado. As I approached the tree there were three bald eagles perched in it. However, as I got closer two flew away leaving this one to keep an eye on me. Captured with a Canon 60D.
These magnificent birds are very common in Alaska but until recently were were almost eliminated in the lower forty-eight states. Hunting, pesticides and human encroachment almost wiped them out. However, the efforts of conservation groups, state and federal wildlife agencies and other interested parties have helped revive the Bald Eagle in the lower forty eight states.
These birds usually nest in very tall trees or on cliffs. Feeding mostly on fish. They can be found near lakes, streams, rivers and seacoasts.
The word bald meant "white headed" in old English, thus the Bald Eagle the symbol of American freedom worldwide.
