It is amazing to think it is 2009!! We are off to a very cold start to the new year!! So how cold is it would be the question? Way below zero would be the answer. I love photography and I got the most awesome lens for Christmas, so after Christmas Daniel went with me to take pictures of the Bald Eagles. It was -17 the day we were out and about. It continued to get colder in the days that followed, this last week we had at least 4 mornings in a row that the temp said -30. During the day we would gain a few degrees and end up in the -25 degree range for our daytime high temperature. Two weeks into this cold snap we finally hit zero!! Hooray for zero and it is funny to say , it felt warmer today.
It is amazing to see the eagles when it is so cold. They have a way of fluffing their feathers for warmth and it really makes them look "ruffled". The darker colored Eagles are Juvenile Bald Eagles. They will take on the more traditional look with white heads and dark body feathers at around 4-5 years of age.
