The cold moon, the last full moon of the year was a good excuse to get out at sunrise yesterday. Some wispy clouds ultimately obscured my view, but it was a beautiful morning and I think I got some excellent images anyway, plus a couple of unexpected bonus wildlife pictures.

The Eagles Return
This is the time of year when I frequently visit the Eleven Mile Fishing Report to check the status of the ice cover. Upon discovering that the reservoir is completely frozen over, I decided to make an early morning visit to investigate the bald eagle nesting pair's return to their winter home in the canyon.
