Like royalty on its throne, this Bald Eagle towered over its loyal subjects, the photographers who trudged through the snow and arctic temperatures to snap a shot in adoration of the noble bird.
*****
There were a pair of Bald Eagles atop a very tall, leafless tree at Belle Isle, a park in the Detroit River. Seeing them was a perfect ending to the outing, on a rare, sunny and cloudless day!

Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) female
David J www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry had recently tipped me off that Belle and Bronson had a nest on the go, at the other end of the disused section of Sneydes Rd. That was the main reason for my wander today. At first I couldn't locate them but heard the squawk of a juvenile so waited a while. Bronson had been out hunting and brought back a mouse for Belle. She then went to a tree near the nest site to dine. You can see she is holding the mouse here.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR NICES COMMENTS & INVITES
I wish you a good night or good day !
MERCI POUR VOS CHALEUREUX COMMENTAIRES,,,, Bonne nuit ou bonne journée......

Suedbahnhotel Semmering, Semmering, Austria
"The original Suedbahnhotel Semmering (also called “Hotel Semmering” or “First Suedbahnhotel”) was the 1st Hotel am Semmering at all and was opened in 1882 at the foot of Pinkenkogel Mountain–at precisely 1000 m above sea level. The Suedbahnhotel am Semmering was one of several grand hotels along the Suedbahn route from Vienna to Triest which were commissioned in order to stimulate the tourism in the respective regions and also the Suedbahn route from the privileged K. u. k. Suedbahngesellschaft. Semmering was already easy to reach at this time through the pioneering accomplishment of the Semmering Railways and was consequently expanded to create a popular holiday and spa resort. Semmering was popular with Viennese society as well as with the multi-national guests from all levels of the royal monarchy. Fin de Siècle and Belle Époche are two eras at the end of the 19th century and/or at the beginning of the 20th century which were characteristic for the Suedbahnhotel Semmering, but not just from social-political and sports history perspectives. A section of the Austrian tourism history also had its start here.
Currently, the opportunity exists to acquire the fairy-tale and spaciously-constructed “Second Suedbahnhotel” in order to be able to continue to develop it with a corresponding usage concept and to be able to sustainably preserve a unique architectural jewel. The Suedbahnhotel Semmering is by no means dead: It is merely sleeping and waiting to be kissed to be awakened..."
