Eagle in Snow

Where does an eagle go,

when there's snow?

Cold and wet the weather,

kept at bay by feather,

find a perch to wait out the storm,

this could be the norm.

Sit quietly and reflect,

raptor beauty the object.

I know now where eagles go,

when there's snow.

They warm my heart,

with this photo a start.

This mature Bald Eagle came in and landed on this stump as it snowed. I was on the shore of Kachemak Bay and looking for eagles when this one presented itself. Thank goodness, as you can't see too far into the landscape with falling snow. The snowfall affected the light and gave this image a sort of ethereal look.
