Early Flight

 I don't know of anything more beautiful than a golden eagle in the sun! That is when you truly realize how they got their name as the feathers on their heads glow with an amazing light all their own.

This bird sat and watched me this morning as I fed llamas and then put out seed for the chukars. He seemed relatively unconcerned about my presence so after feeding I got out the camera and took about 50 shots of him sitting on Vertebrae Rock.

 When he finally decided to fly off, he came right at me instead of the usual move of sliding off the back out of sight.
